Don't Blame Me!

BY lOHN TAYLOR

It's the hot new way of thinking:
Look at your life, decide what's
wrong, and start blaming. These
days, our culture crawls with
"victims." They say they've been
afflicted, abused, neglected — and
that the buck doesn't stop here
anymore. Because victimization
has enormous advantages. It fuels
billions in civil litigation, fills
talk-show panels, sells co-depen-
dency tools. There are psychic re-
wards, too: the moral superiority
of innocence, and the thrill of
nailing Congress, the neighbors,
or, you know, society, john Tay-
lor traces the fault lines.

Face to Face

BY BERNICE KANNER

Those lips, those
eyes . . . that turkey
neck. On the morn-
ing of her fiftieth
birthday, Nienke
Vandermeer stared
into the mirror. Her
reflection sent her to
surgery. The official
diagnosis: "Your
skin has begun to
droop." So Vander-
meer plunked down
$12,000, and traded
in her face. She got the works: liposuction, new eyelids, and the firm-
est neck money can buy. Bemice Kanner watched the procedure, and
charts her slow recovery. The anatomy of a face-lift.

A r\ Cheap Sleep

Vy BY VINCENT FRONTERO

When it comes to
New York hotels,
"cheap" needn't
mean "fleabag."
Sleeping around, our
professional guest
checked into some
curious finds — from
the chic Paramount
(ri^t) to the cozy F
charm of the Wash- t
ington Square Hotel.
Also, how to make
the landmarks more
affordable.

Not Fit to Print

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED EDWIN DIAMOND'S

piece "The Times's 'Wild Streak' " [May
13], I was, at one tiine, an avid reader of
that newspaper and regarded it as quality
journalism. However, I stopped reading
the Times once I finished the article in
which the name of the woman in the Ken-
nedy rape case was revealed. Naming the
alleged victim was the decision of a man
who will never know what it is like to be
accosted while waiting for a train at a de-
serted station or to have to constantly look
over his shoulder every time he walks home
late at night. It's back to the Post for me.

Joseph /. Scarpati

I CAN UNDERSTAND THE OBIECTIONS RAISED

over the double standard of publishing
the alleged Rorida victim's name and not
the name of the Central Park jogger. How-
ever, if the name of the accused is pub-
lished before the accused is proved guilty,
why not the name of the accuser?

Blame It on Mario

lOE KLEIN'S RECENT COLU1V1N "THE CITY

Politic: Where's the Pea?" [May 13] was
off the mark in its analysis of the rally in
New York City and the role of unions in
crafting a humane budget in this state. I
would hardly characterize this demonstra-
tion by a multitude of concerned working
people as unimpressive. The people I
marched with and the speakers I stood next
to are disappointed in this administration,
which has misplaced its priorities and has
lost touch with working, middle-class fam-
ilies. And Mario Cuomo can hardly be
called "something of an exception this
year." His lack of leadership in fashioning
serious budget negotiations directly con-
tributed to the costly delay in the passage of
a budget. Cuomo's predecessor, Hugh
Carey, galvanized a coalition of govern-
ment, corporate, and labor leaders and suc-
cessfully overcame the last fiscal crisis.
Cuomo, it seems, is more concerned with
his weekend cross-country jaunts and titil-
lating the media about his ambitions.

Simon really think that flying cover for
bombers was unimportant work? Does he
really believe that black fighter pilots
were relegated to a nonglamorous task,
while the white pilots made the headlines
by shooting down Nazi fighters? 1 was
into my second tour of combat, bombing
Germany in 1944, when my flight of B-
17s was jumped from behind by 40 to 50
fighters. Our entire flight of six was blown
out of the sky, along with three B-17s
from the other flights. Why did the
Luftwaffe hit us? Because we were away
from the main bomber stream — which
had all the fighter coverage. Bombers
were the bait to draw the Luftwaffe into a
fight. When they came up to attack us, the
glamour boys went into action. The color
of the pilot's skin didn't have a damned
thing to do with who flew cover. Show me
a pilot who flew cover for us, and I'll
show you a man for whom any bomber
crewman will buy drinks forever. He
could be black, white, red, yellow, pink,
or green. Simon's review is one of a mil-
lion little wedges — the purprase of which
is to divide black and white Americans —
and I am fed up with it.

jerome Silverman
East Meadow, N.Y.

John Simon responds: Leslie Lee's en-
tire play hinges on the point that the black
pilots perceived the assignment of flying
cover as discriminatory. Silverman should
take the matter up with Lee and the pilots
who helped him write his play.

Southern Exposure

AS A BORN-AND-BRED VIRGINIAN, I WAS

thrilled to see your profile of Governor L.
Douglas Wilder, Virginia's brightest polit-
ical star since Woodrow Wilson ["The
National Interest: A Walk on the Wilder
Side," April 15]. But 1 was shocked to
read that Wilder claims to have cut $ 1 .4-
billion from the state budget "without
touching education." For the next fiscal
year. Wilder has pared $ 1 00 million from
state aid to education. His actions to close
a daunting budgetary gap have been cou-
rageous, but his slash-and-bum tactics

now threaten to gut Virginia's exemplary
public-education system. For instance,
students at my alma mater, the College of
William and Mary, face a hefty tuition hike
in the fall to help make up for lack of state
funding. Some academic departments have
been forced to reduce course offerings and
lay off adjunct instructors. Blueprints for
future buildings are gathering dust. And
most telling of all, college officials have or-
dered that the air-conditioning in some
campus buildings be shut off.

Dis-Oriented

"the japanning of SCARSDALE" [APRIL

29], and "The japanning of New York"
[August 17, 1981] appeared in New York
almost a decade apart. 1 owe much to that
first "japanning" issue. I had just become
friendly with a japanese neighbor here in
New jersey. She and her husband (an ex-
ecutive with Nissho-Iwai in Manhattan)
encouraged me to tutor the japanese liv-
ing here. "The Japanning of New York"
was a teaching tool that 1 used for years,
until it nearly fell apart. Reading "The ja-
panning of Scarsdale," 1 wondered if I
would even have bothered to speak to that
same neighbor had this been my only
frame of reference. 1 would have assumed
that interaction — let alone friendship —
between japanese and Americans was dif-
ficult and unrewarding.

Earth to Byron

AS A LONGTIME New York magazine read-
er. city resident, and environmentally
conscious individual, I was appalled at the
slant of Chris Byron's recent column on
recycling ["The Bottom Line: Trash Fic-
tion," May 6]. Why use a tired cliche like
"tree-hugging environmentalists" to de-
scribe individuals intelligent enough to be
concerned about our planet's future?
Why degrade an entire community where
the program is working smoothly by call-
ing those residents "fanatics" (implying
that people who are currently obeying Lo-
cal Law 1 9 are exhibiting some type of ir-
rational behavior)? Preposterously
enough, Byron neglects to say many New
Yorkers are oblivious of the fact that they
are required by law to recycle. The gist of
the column seems to be that because Lo-
cal Law 19 wasn't instantly 100 percent
successful, it should be nullified. New
York serves as a beacon to so many read-
ers. If it doesn't inspire the citizens of our
fine city to recycle, then who will?

KERREY NATION
IN 1992?

Robert Kerrey's office says the
Democratic senator from Ne-
braska has no plans to run for
president, but Capitol Hill
sources say he has been busy
lining up potential supporters
for the 1992 election.

"He's one of the few liberal
Democrats who's emerging as
a credible candidate," says
one Washington insider.
"Some people here are think-
ing that [Mario] Cuomo is too
liberal, and the mess that New
York is in isn't going to help
him. Kerrey's biggest liability
is that he initially opposed the
Persian Gulf War. But he was
also wounded in the Vietnam
War. The Democrats would
love to put a genuine war hero
up against a classic war wimp
like Dan Quayle."

"The senator doesn't want to
be president at this time," says
a spokesman. "But he reserves
the right to leave his options
open in '92 and '96." When
asked if Kerrey has been testing
the waters, the spokesman
says, "People approach him.

loan Collins doesn't have too many fans at the offices of the
Tony awards these days. The star of Dynasty angered Tony ex-

was backing out of the june 2 event.

"The problem with Ms. Collins is she has too many offices
speaking for her," says Cates. He says the star's Los Angeles
spokeswoman had approved her appearance on the show, but last
week, Collins's London office said she wouldn't be able to make it
because of scheduling conflicts. Now they're saying she may still
show up. Is Cates upset? "Upset? 1 am distraught!" says the
sixtyish producer. "I've idolized loan Collins. I first watched her
pictures when 1 was just a little boy."

KNOPF SIGNS UP MORE MURDER, MAYHEM

Knopf editor-in-chief Sonny Mehta has apparently developed an
appetite for books about young murderers. Mehta, who recently
brought out Bret Easton Ellis's bloody American Psycho, has

Controversial rocker Axl Rose is running into trouble with his

he was seen reading lyrics off a TelePrompTer.

"It was hilarious," says one person at the event. "I've never
seen anything like it."

"1 don't know why everyone's jumping on him for that," says
a spokeswoman for Geffen Records, the band's label. "As long

bit of a mess," says a source. "Because Bracco was sick, she had
trouble with some of her scenes." The tentatively titled Last
Days of Eden is a romantic adventure set in the Brazilian rain
forest. "Dehydration has been a problem." admits a spokes-
woman for the film. "But we don't have any specific informa-

acknowledges that Bracco had "a slight medical problem."

A LIFE CAREENING TOWARD OBLIVION: As a young senator (left) and Teddy today.

THE KENNEDY SLIDE

A VERY LONG TIME AGO, LATE IN THE SUM-

mer of 1 969, 1 spent a day wandering the
north shore of Massachusetts with Sena-
tor Edward M. Kennedy and his wife,
loan. It was the first of many such days I'd
spend with Kennedy over the years, and
perhaps the most memorable. It was just
after Chappaquiddick. The senator was
dressed in a black suit, trussed in a back
brace. He was, 1 suspect, in profound
physical and moral agony.

The first stop was a parade in Salem.
Kennedy marched with a phalanx of
aides — several with walkie-talkies scouted
ahead for nuns, crippled children, or oth-
er bystanders of interest; they reported
back to aides marching behind the sena-
tor, who'd pass along the message, "A
group of nuns coming up on the left
. . . wheelchairs on the right." The sena-
tor proceeded, as if on automatic pilot, to
greet on cue.

At one point, with the parade stopped
and Kennedy off hugging nuns, loan was
left alone in the middle of the street,
clutching a bouquet of red roses. A beery
voice called out, "Ya betta watch where
he's goin' this time, loanie." She seemed
to gasp, then quickly composed herself. It
was a terrible thing to see, heartbreaking.

After the parade, we went to a Greek
picnic in Lowell. The place was lush with
pols — dashing young pols, hair swept
back, jackets slung over their shoulders,

sleeves rolled up, trying to look like him,
like them, like Kennedys. The senator,
stiff and funereal in his black suit and
brace, was the only politician present who
appeared to understand the frightening
limits of charisma. His life seemed over:
He would go through the motions, often
gallantly, always sadly. The joy was gone
from his public life.

It is possible that his private life has
been similarly desperate, joyless — the
drinking and wenching reflexive rather
than purposeful. A woman I know who
once was called for a date by the senator
said it was "pathetic, very high-school, a
lot of giggling and heavy breathing."
There are, by now, a mountain of anec-
dotes about Kennedy's puerility. But bet-
ter puerile, in a way, than suave or manip-
ulative: It makes the profoundly self-
destructive nature of his life, the slow-
motion suicide that it has become, more
sad than outrageous.

And now. Palm Beach. It seems clear he
lied to the police — or, as ever, had a loyal
retainer lie for him. This is not, technical-
ly, an obstruction of justice; neither the
senator nor his nephew William Smith
was required to cooperate with the police
absent a subpoena or an indictment. But it
is another sign of a life careening toward
oblivion.

How to react? The temptation is sym-
pathy. The squalid media coverage, the
spectacle of a hopeless, uninspired fel-
low — Kennedy is no dolt, but hardly the

sparkling presence his brothers were —
overwhelmed by life and fate, is almost
enough to lure one toward compassion.
Almost, but not quite: His irresponsibility
has had consequences. The life of Mary |o
Kopechne, obviously, was one. But, more
subtly, the values inherent in his careless
way of life and feckless politics have been
disastrous for American liberalism and
the Democratic Party.

In even the most vicious pieces about
his personal life, Kennedy's performance
as a United States senator is routinely
praised. Unlikely colleagues, like Utah's
Orrin Hatch, are summoned for testimo-
nials. Much of this is justified. When
roused, Kennedy can be a compelling ad-
vocate. And even when he is in his natural
state (on automatic pilot), his always bril-
liant staffers pick up the slack. Eyes
peeled for nuns and wheelchairs, they
have led him along a parade route of mor-
al crusades that at times has made a pal-
pable impact on the lives of the poor.

But, perhaps more often, the staffs ideal-
ism and the senator's guilt have produced a
disastrous synergy, a no-questions-asked in-
dulgence of any and all groups claiming to
be aggrieved. When combined with Kenne-
dy's personal excesses, the result is an ex-
treme case of what the Cooper Union histo-
rian Fred Siegel has called "liberalism
without virtue."

It is a phenomenon neatly described by
E. |. Dionne |r. in his new book, Why
Americans Hale Politics: "Liberals are
uncomfortable with the idea that a virtu-
ous community depends on virtuous indi-
viduals. [They] defend the welfare state
but are uneasy when asked what moral
values the welfare state should promote —
as if billions of federal dollars can be
spent in a 'value-free' way. [They] rightly
defend the interests of children who are
born into poverty. . . . Yet when conser-
vatives suggest that society has a vital in-
terest in how the parents of these poor
children behave, many liberals accuse
conservatives of 'blaming the victim.' "

But it's more insidious than that. Since
the sixties, there's been a subtle alliance
on the American left between the rich and
poor in matters of personal morality. It
was initially expressed as hip, existential
disdain for "bourgeois" values — pace
Norman Mailer — and romanticization of
the alienated, self-destructive behavior of
the poor. Later, it ballooned into an un-
ironic insistence on the self-asserted
"rights" of life-style splinter groups. Mere
tolerance of untraditional domestic ar-
rangements (a traditional liberal virtue)

12 NEW Y0RK/|UNE 3, I99I

was no longer enough; esteem was de-
manded. The very notion of a universal
standard of "virtue" (or "excellence" in
schools and aptitude testing) was deemed
reactionary. Standards were bourgeois.
Bourgeois was Republican.

This may seem prudish — as a former
faux bohemian, I'm not very happy with
it — but moral relativism has been an utter
disaster for liberalism and for the poor.
Dionne argues that this upper-middle-
class-oriented "cultural" liberalism has
made it inevitable that presidential cam-
paigns are fought on "life-style" issues
rather than gut-bucket stuff like economic
security. Surely, it has guaranteed the
flight of white working-class voters from
the party. The political disaster has been
near-total: Democrats have not merely
lost, they've been routed in five of six
presidential campaigns since 1968. Only
the moral revanchist Jimmy Carter was
able to buck the trend.

There are other, subtler consequences
of the amoral alliance of dilettantes and
deadbeats. Adam Smith, as quoted by Joel
Schwartz in The Public Interest, had a
startlingly clear view of the costs of Ken-
nedy-like behavior on the poor two centu-
ries ago. "Wanton and even disorderly
mirth, the pursuit of pleasure to some de-
gree of intemperance [and] the breach of
chastity" didn't necessarily hurt the rich,
but "the vices of levity are always ruinous
to the common people, and a single
week's . . . dissipation is often sufficient
to undo a poor workman for ever."

Kennedy's personal behavior not only
betrays a not-so-subtle contempt for mid-
dle-class values like sobriety and fidelity,
it makes it impossible for him to demand
any reasonable standard of morality from
the poor. His silence reinforces the post-
sixties liberal tendency to absolve the
poor of all responsibility for their poverty
(see John Taylor on victimization, page
26). an impulse as unrealistic as the con-
servatives' desire to ignore the "creative
destruction" of capitalism and America's
legacy of racism as sources of poverty.

It's been argued that Ted Kennedy has
merely followed a well-worn path, adapt-
ing his family's liberal politics and sexual
flagrance to more progressive times. It's
been argued that his obsession with
"picking up the fallen standard" (a nice
phallic image) led to his brain-dead reflex-
iveness in love and war. But Kennedy took
the family tropisms past several key
boundaries. He divorced; he broke the
law — and, most important, he allowed lib-
eralism's essential message to slip from
sacrifice for the common good to entitle-
ment, from "Ask not what your country
can do for you ..." to "You deserve a
break today."

His life is a tragedy. It is not for gloating.
But its value as an object lesson is unavoid-
able: Liberalism without virtue leads to
self-indulgence and disaster. ■

The Bottom Line/Christopher Byron

INFORMER

CYRUS HASHEMI'S SHADOWY LEGACY

FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, A MYSTERY HAS

surrounded the role of an Iranian busi-
nessman, Cyrus Hashemi, who woriced
briefly — but not without notice — as an
undercover informant for federal prosecu-
tors in a 1 986 New York arms-smuggling
case. The case led to the indictment of
seventeen people, including a retired Is-
raeli general, an expatriate Wall Street
lawyer living in London, and even a
Greek-born Hollywood character actor,
Nico Minardos.

At the time of the indictments, Rudolph
Giuliani, then-U.S. Attorney, proclaimed
grandly that his office, working jointly
with U.S. Customs investigators, had bro-
ken up a "brokers of death" arms-dealing
network. But the nearly three-year prose-
cution that followed came to nothing, and
just before Giuliani stepped down as chief
federal prosecutor in lanuary 1 989 to run
for mayor, the case was quietly dropped.

From the start, the defendants claimed
they had been working with the covert
knowledge and approval of the Reagan
administration. But prosecutors waved
the claims away. And even after the reve-
lations of Iran-contra began to add at least
circumstantial weight to the defendants'
claims, the U.S. Attorney's office still
pressed ahead with its case.

Enter a former Carter-administration
official named Gary Sick, who has lately
been making news with assertions that the
Reagan folks may have struck a secret
"arms for hostages" deal with the Ayatol-
lah Khomeini during the 1980 presiden-
tial campaign.

Sick's carefully hedged theory may or
may not hold up under scrutiny. But for
the purposes of clearing up Hashemi's
role in the 1 986 New York arms case, this
really doesn't matter. That's because Sick
provides plenty of evidence that Hashemi
himself played a key role in various 1980
meetings with the Reagan people de-
signed to get a secret deal in place with
Iran.

As a result, questions now become un-
avoidable with respect to Hashemi's role
five years later as an undercover inform-
ant in New York. Did the Feds really
know who their informant was? Or, more
darkly, did they let innocent defendants
twist in the wind once the truth of White
House involvement in the case became
apparent?

The use of undercover informants has
always been a controversial matter — par-
ticularly in white-collar criminal cases.

where the alleged offenses are complex
and the people who commit them may
not, in fact, have believed they were doing
anything wrong. That was a main rap
against Giuliani for his use of informants
like Ivan Boesky and Martin Siegel in his
Wall Street securities-fraud prosecutions.
Now the problems coming to light con-
cerning Hashemi remind one of the prob-
lems that result when cops and criminals
join forces.

A smoother operator than Hashemi is
hard to imagine. According to Elliot Rich-
ardson, the former defense secretary and
Attorney General in the Nixon years, who
was Hashemi's lawyer for a period in the

be operating with covert approval from
Washington, and that gave Hashemi an
idea. In the double-dealing tradition that
had become his hallmark, he secretly sent
his lawyer— a man named William Wach-
tel — to negotiate a deal with Giuliani in
New York.

As explained by Wachtel, the plan was
this: Giuliani would check out the bona
fides of the businessmen in Washington to
see if they were sanctioned as part of the
hidden world of U.S.-backed arms deals
to Iran. If they were, then Hashemi would
go forward. If not, the Iranian busiiiess-
man would still put the deal together —
only he'd secretly work simultaneously as

BURNT-OUT CASE? Rudolph Giuliani's indictment of the "brokers of death " led nowhere.

early eighties, the Iranian businessman
delivered messages to Iran for the Carter
folks as long ago as 1979.

Yet according to Sick, Hashemi crossed
the street in 1980 and began secretly
shopping his Iranian contacts to the Rea-
gan people. Thereafter, Hashemi got into
the arms business himself, winding up in-
dicted in 1984 by federal prosecutors.
Moving to London, he was soon back in
business, putting together an arms deal to
Iran that eventually involved Saudi finan-
cier Adnan Khashoggi.

When Khashoggi shoved Hashemi
aside and took the deal for himself, Ha-
shemi began looking around for a new
deal of his own. Soon, he stumbled across
some French-based businessmen with ac-
cess to arms and a willingness to sell them
to Iran. They, too, apparently claimed to

an informant for Giuliani, snitching to the
Feds on his own unknowing partners. In
return for his cooperation, the Feds would
perhaps find a way to drop the pending
arms indictment against him.

"Either way, Cyrus would have been a
hero," said Wachtel ruefully last week.

What exactly Giuliani was told when he
checked with Washington isn't known.
Now a partner at the midtown law firm of
Anderson, Kill, Olick & Oshinsky, where
he is said to be contemplating a second
run for mayor come 1993, Giuliani de-
clined to be interviewed for this story.

Nonetheless, whatever Giuliani heard
(or didn't hear), he soon began using Ha-
shemi as an informant. Meanwhile, how-
ever, the very people Hashemi was spying
on already believed they were operating
with government approval — a situation

that in effect made them sitting ducks for
a government "sting" operation.

Acting on Hashemi's information, pros-
ecutors spent millions to bag their quarry.
They taped telephone conversations,
bugged a luxury-hotel suite in Paris, and
eventually arrested several of the defen-
dants by luring them to a meeting in Ber-
muda. Indictments of others followed
later.

The defendants all instantly claimed
their work had been approved by the gov-
ernment — and in a sense, they were right.
Yet instead of following leads that would
have taken them directly into the White
House, Giuliani and his subordinates per-
sisted in viewing the defendants as con-
spirators in an ordinary arms-smuggling
case.

Too bad, for within three months of the
indictments, the government's star wit-
ness, Hashemi, was dead. Though he had
been thought to be in perfect health, he
was stricken in London by a rare and ap-
parently almost instantly fatal form of leu-
kemia. Last week, Wachtel said he re-
mains "98 percent certain" that Hashemi
was murdered, but he won't say by whom.

In any case, with its key witness dead
and newspapers soon filled with Iran-con-
tra revelations, Giuliani's office nonethe-
less plowed ahead — perhaps because it
was simply too awkward to stop.

Eventually, the evidence of the prosecu-
tors' foolishness became all but over-
whelming. During the han-contra hear-
ings in Congress in the summer of 1987, a
handwritten note was introduced. It was
written by White House chief of staff Don
Regan during a November 10, 1986,
meeting in the Oval Office with President
Reagan, Vice-President Bush, and some
others regarding Iran-contra. After a
while, the subject of the New York case
came up. According to the note. Bush
asked, "Is NY case a private or public en-
deavor to sell arms to Iran?"

The answer, from a speaker not identi-
fied: "Probably private with government
knowledge."

Finally, in january 1 989, prosecutors at
last dropped the case. In a terse statement
filed in court at the end, the government
admitted that it simply couldn't prove that
the defendants knew they had done any-
thing illegal — especially now that its key
witness was dead.

The lawyers in the case say they find the
admission incredible — for Hashemi had
been dead for fully two and a half years
before the government got around to
dropping the indictments.

"Bitter? You bet I'm bitter," said de-
fendant Minardos. "I'm the victim of a
government cover-up, and what's been
taken from me can never be returned."
Only now — with the shadowy figure of
Cyrus Hashemi at last beginning to come
more fully into view — is it possible to see
how things happened as they did. ™

blow — Saatchi & Saatchi rescinded Fargo's
designation as a little America: The agency
dropped the city from the new edition of its
500-page Guide to Test Market Media
Planning and Market Selection, and the
local media lost an advertising windfall.

To serve as a marketing barometer, a
town has got to be "typical." But Fargo
isn't typical anymore. Neither is lllinois's
Springfield-Decatur-Champaign area,
which recently lost its marketing magic
because its unemployment rate and per-
centage of 1 8-to-24-year-olds rose beyond
the national average.

According to popular wisdom, Peoria is
the test-market capital of America — the
arena where products are "made, delayed,
or slayed." If it works there, people as-
sume, it'll work anywhere. (According to
Rebekah Bourland of the city's chamber
of commerce, Richard Nixon wasn't the
first to ask, "Will it play in Peoria?"
Vaudevillians considered these folk a
tough audience long before Nixon won-
dered how they viewed the Vietnam War.)
Lately, though, marketers have been stay-
ing away, fearing that Peoria's shop-
pers have become jaded and overexposed.

i6 NEW york/iune 3, 1991

So what are the nation's top test mar-
kets? Between lanuary 1989 and lune
1 990, according to S & S, the big seven
were Minneapolis-St. Paul (where 112
new products were tested), Denver (77),
Portland (70), Columbus. Ohio (61),
Phoenix (60), Kansas City, Missouri (50),
and Atlanta (43). In that period, only
eleven products tried out in Peoria. (The
city is currently a testing ground for three
new flavors of Pepsi with a shot of fruit.)

In the 1947 film Magic Town, )immy
Stewart played a pollster who'd discov-
ered a town that precisely reflected the
demographics of the entire country. While
there is no such Nirvana, there are ideal
test markets. Each is something of a mi-
crocosm of America: it must have at least
three TV stations, four radio stations, a
daily and a Sunday newspaper, and cable
penetration of between 35 and 70 per-
cent, says Ira Weinblatt, a senior vice-
president and director of print media at
S & S. "It should be somewhat isolated,
with no more than 20 percent of viewers
listening or watching stations outside the
market [a situation known as spill-in]
and, to avoid spill-out and media waste,
no more than 20 percent of outsiders tun-
ing to its stations," he says. Local media
must be relatively inexpensive, the citi-
zens not extremely loyal to any particular
brand, and the supermarkets impartial.
"Marketers who go where retailers love
them and give them unfair advantages

may find they fall flat on their face in the
real world," says Weinblatt.

Test-market households should number
between 125,000 and 1.5 million, and
demographics should fall within 20 per-
cent of the national average. That means,
according to the 1989 census update, a
median family income of $28,906 and the
following ethnic composition: 84.1 per-
cent white, 12.4 percent black, and 3.5
percent other races, including Asian and
Amerian Indian (8.3 percent of the total
should be Hispanic). Household size and
educational levels don't figure in choosing
test cities.

Most marketers test in at least two
towns, using another as a control, for at
least six months, to watch a product go
through several buying cycles and to
gauge its repeat-purchase history. The test
areas should be dispersed and should total
at least 3 percent of the United States
population.

In S & S's latest report, 54 cities meet
the testing criteria. "Marketers used to
pick locations where they wanted to
spend time — ski centers, for instance —
but in the age of tight money, they've had
to use workhorse markets that furnish
honest readings," says Weinblatt.

Sometimes the process turns up sur-
prises. Audits & Surveys, a market-re-
search firm, planned to test a dog food in
a southern Texas market, but the local
media warned it off, says Cari Ravitch,
A & S's senior vice-president. "Humans
were consuming other pet foods, a situa-
tion that would have skewed results," he
says.

Sensibly, Procter & Gamble would
avoid testing peanut butter in Florida,
where so many old folks live, since it's
children who love peanut butter. And oc-
casionally the test is simply ill conceived.
There's the tale of the baking product that
bombed in St. Louis: With the tempera-
ture over 100 degrees, no one was turning
on the oven.

Some 1 3,000 new products were intro-
duced in 1 990, but not all were pretested.
Four out of five new products fail in tests.
But of the tested products, 56 percent of
those that make it into the real world
thrive, while only about 10 percent of un-
tested items do, says George Garrick, an
executive of Information Resources.

"Testing reveals the effects of heavy
versus light advertising, the mix of ads
versus promotion, and pricing levels and
other variables in a real situation," Gar-
rick says. "That lets the marketer predict
profits and market share, and gives data

EYES ON THE BUYS: Test marketers celebrate the importance of being average.

on who is buying, how often and at what
price; whether to use coupons; and the ef-
fect on the competition as well as its re-
sponse. It helps the marketer decide
whether his promotion needs doctoring,
and if so, how; what the production and
distribution levels should be; and how to
position and advertise."

I.R. tests in 70 markets; in six of them it
has created special arrangements in stores
to guarantee total distribution and to al-
low the tracking of the shopping patterns
of 3,000 families. "[Test-market] demo-
graphics are so broadly defined that
they're slippery, like picking up a blob of
mercury," Garrick says.

Some marketers resist testing because
it's expensive, time-consuming, not al-
ways accurate, and it tips their hand to
competitors, who may sabotage results,
buy everything off the shelves to invali-
date the test, hike their own ad budgets to
warn off the encroacher, or kill it by un-
dercutting. "Years ago, Bayer Children's
Aspirin tripled their ad budget, and their
upstart rival went away," recalls Wein-
blatt. Several companies have created
tests using less costly computer models to
predict patterns of consumer trial-and-re-
peat purchase. And many products simply
appear, untested, in New York. Selling
Areas-Marketing, Inc., reported that in a
one-year period more new brands were in-
troduced in food stores in the New York
and Los Angeles areas than in the so-
called test markets.

When Anheuser-Busch tested Michelob
Dry two years ago, it decided to go nation-
al after just two months. Research showed
that people had no idea what "dry beer"
meant (it means "less sweet") but wanted
to find out, and rumors flew that the japa-
nese, who originated dry beer, were about
to tap the U.S. market. The test showed
positive feedback from distributors. Even
more important, it showed that Michelob
drinkers tried the new stuff but didn't de-
sert their mainstay beer. When Kraft test-
ed Bull's-Eye barbecue sauce in 1988, it
found that consumers bought more bot-
tles at the highest price — $1.79 for eight-
een ounces — than less expensive bottles,
and that running much more advertising
didn't generate a significant increase in
sales. Oscar Mayer realized after a six-
month test that it had a turkey on its
hands in Dark Roast of Turkey. When
there was no advertising, no one tried it.
Advertising did create a good response,
but there were very few repeat purchases,
and they took longer than expected to be
made.

People living in "hot" towns often get a
first look at a new product, and their votes
count. But there are drawbacks. Consider
the plight of the Peoria woman who, a
quarter-century ago, blithely set out on a
cross-country car trip with only a handful of
Pampers, assuming she'd find disposable
diapers for her toddler en route. "i

THE LAST
AMERICAN YUPPIE

THE OTHER DAY AT LUNCH, A VERY TALL AND IMMACULATELY

shaved waitperson came over to my table while I was tearing
into a tiny blob of whitefish salad (sturgeon mousse?) wrapped
in lox (or was it gravlax?). "Fresh pepper?" he inquired, bran-
dishing a mill the size of a small prosthetic limb in the vicinity of
my appetizer.

Now, I have to tell you: I've always had a problem with this
cultural phenomenon. If the contents of these medieval cudgels
are, in fact, "fresh pepper," what does that make stuff that's on
the table? Stale pepper? If so, how long has it been there? Why
don't they change it? What's with
the truncheon-shaped dispensers?
I've seen some as big as a baseball
bat! Honestly! Until now, I'd ex-
pressed nothing but contempt for
the whole concept of special pepper
for the cognoscenti as a totem of a
society whose values, along with
Mike Milken's toupee, had come
and gone.

"Sure," I heard myself declare.

Yes, for the first time, I permitted
myself to get fresh-peppered. And
... it was good. Whoah, 1 asked my-
self as I pondered the speckled mass
of protein and fat before me, what
was I becoming? I thought I knew
the answer.

I have this nightmare: I have
awakened in an unfamiliar country
and I don't know who I am. I don't
know how I got there, and I can't
find my monthly commuter pass,
which means that in order to return,
I will have to pay a gross surcharge
that eats up the cash I wanted to
spend on a Stairmaster. All I know,
in my dream, is that in some deep
and mysterious way I am no longer
myself, nor have I been given the op-
portunity to become anyone more
satisfactory either. It's horrible.

I went home that evening as I of-
ten do. By train, I mean. There was a
salad waiting. That's not the big
news; over the years, I have come to view salad as more than
sheep food smothered with unguents. But this salad was . . . dif-
ferent in some way. It was . . . delicious! What was in it? Some-
thing new? "I found some very nice goat cheese and sun-dried
tomatoes on sale at the A&P," said my wife.

I paused, fork in midair. Little birds flew around my head,
tweeting. Goat cheese? Sun-dried tomatoes? Weren't these the
apotheosis of the fatuous values of the eighties, expressed in
dietary terms? I fled from the kitchen then, muttering genera-
tionally incorrect sentiments under what was left of my breath,
determined to closet myself in my bedroom for a session of
heavy meditation.

On the way, however, I espied on our coffee table the most
recent Eddie Bauer catalogue. There was a sleeveless sweater in
there that seemed to go very nicely with the four sets of pleated
dungarees I had picked up at Bauer's outlet store recently, not
to mention the woolen Argyle socks that would coordinate quite

neatly with my weekend wingtip loafers, and . . . Lord help me,
I pored over the stupid mailer for more than 30 minutes before I
knew what was happening. I woke up when I saw myself admir-
ing how trim the male model's gut looked in those Bermuda
shorts and wondering whether it was the result of diet or
exercise.

I thrust the book from me. No! This wasn't happening. I
could, I would, stop it! I hit the remote control and found thirty-
something burbling about Michael and Elliot and Nancy and
Betty and Chet and Mort and their goldfish Frisky, and, woe is

me, / was unable to turn it off!

On the eleven o'clock news, I paid
particular attention to the events of
the day from the world of business.
The rest I sort of tuned out.

In the dark later that night, I real-
ized I was obsessing about property
values in a changing real-estate mar-
ket. Upset, I went downstairs and
had myself an Absolut seasoned
with oregano or something equally
bizarre, adding a small twist of lem-
on sliced from the mother fruit with
a tiny, sharp implement we bought
at the Stamford mall recently just
for that purpose. To fall asleep, I
concentrated on the image of Range
Rovers jumping over a fence. The
next day, I went down to the bulk-
beverage store and stocked up on
some beer from Lapland. And last
night, after dinner at a little North-
em Italian restaurant in Purchase,
my wife and 1 checked out a local
club. There was a guy at the door
who almost didn't let us in. Inside,
everyone was jerks. If that's not
eighties, what is?

The thing is, I had high hopes for
the nineties. I thought they would be
different — sort of set the tone for
the next century. Would we be nest-
ing and reestablishing traditional,
you know, values? Searching for the
miraculous through ostentatious re-
ligious experience? Dropping out and rediscovering country liv-
ing? Hey. We could do whatever we want.

Now, I've got to wonder. A lot of people I know still go out of
their way to find the weirdest, smelliest cheese on the planet,
drink wine far too good for them, drive automobiles the equiva-
lent of racehorses to the drugstore, and would love to be making
far too much money if anyone was doing that anymore. Me, I
look good in suspenders. 1 am capable of drinking a full bottle of
Pellegrino at one sitting, especially with a tidy chunk of lime. I
seem to like anything balsamic. Why fight it?

Some things have passed away, true, but some things have
endured and will endure, things we all can enjoy simply because
we have nothing quite as tasty to take their place. That's right.
The eighties are rushing into the nineties like stagnant old pond-
water into an empty culvert. I've held out as long as 1 can. I
welcome them.

Pass the greed, please. M

// turns out all this stuff tastes . . . good.

AMENITIES

MAC Attack

A MINOR MIRACLE IS
happening on Fifth
Avenue: A cosmetics
company that does
absolutely no advertising and
gives away no gifts with
purchases is outselling every
other line at Henri Bendel —
by a lot.

Hip lips: At Henri Bendel.

MAC— Make-Up Art
Cosmetics — was founded in
1985 by Frank Toskan, a
makeup artist in Toronto who
started mixing his own
products because he was
unhappy with the ones on the
market. Stylists all over the
U.S. and Canada went crazy
for the stuff, models began
using it and telling their
friends, and MAC took off.
Until recently, it was available
in New York City only at
Bendel's, but now MAC has
opened a boutique at 1 4
Christopher Street.

Madonna uses it (there —
that woke you up). MAC
created her trademark
lipstick, Russian Red. But
Toskan doesn't want to "take
advantage" of Madonna to
sell his products. Nor does he
wish to emphasize the
progressiveness of the
company, which encourages
recycling by offering one free

lipstick for every six empty
containers returned and does
no animal testing.

So why are women waiting
three-deep at Bendel's

counter for 45 minutes for the
privilege of buying something
as basic as brown eye shadow
($10 and $13)? "We have a
small kitchen, but we really
cook great things" is how
Toskan puts it. Translation:
MAC cosmetics have deep
pigments, no mineral oil or
fragrances, and minimal

artificial preservatives. Best of
all, there's no hard sell:
Toskan hires makeup artists,
not salespeople, to work the
counter, and they won't talk
you into a laugh-line
concealer at the last minute
that comes back to haunt you
as a $45 charge on your Visa
bill. Leslie Brenner

BRIEF LIVES

THE DISH ON SHUE

IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND ELISABETH SHUE'S
eagerness to break away from the blandly
likable, girl-next-door roles that always
seem to come her way, you need to go back
beyond her Hollywood career and take a look
at her earliest dramatic parts — in her family's
unusually plot-driven home movies. Even on
Super-8, Shue says, "I never played any really
active characters. My father would put a bag
over his head and kidnap my little brother.
Then the rest of us
would have to come
up with the
ransom."

Fifteen years
later, it's easy to see
why Shue considers
her role in the new
movie Soapdish to
be a step in the
right direction. She
plays the
obsessively
ambitious Lxtri
Craven, an aspiring ,
actress who'll stop
at nothing to get
herself cast on her
favorite daytime
soap opera (in the
role of a homeless

mute). Craven even

disguises herself as a delivery girl to invade the
office of the show's casting director.

Shue herself, of course, has never had to
resort to such extreme tactics. She started off
with TV commercials while she was still in
high school in South Orange, New jersey,
working her way up to a yearlong series of ads
for Burger King. (Most memorable line:
"Flame broiling beat frying nearly three to one

in a coast-to-coast opinion poll!") After she
was spotted by an ABC talent scout, Shue was
cast in Call to Glory; that eventually led to
major roles in The Karate Kid, Adventures in
Babysitting, Cocktail, and, more recently. The
Marrying Man. Along the way, Shue has
managed to squeeze in a stint in Broadway's
Some Americans Abroad as well as two full
years at Wellesley College and three semesters
at Harvard, where she's still enrolled as an
undergraduate
government major.

Offscreen, the
27-year-old Shue
exhibits a luminous
natural beauty and
an air of playful
insouciance that
comes across when
she forgets the
name of her P.R.
man or jokes
appreciatively
about the perks of a
studio-funded press
tour. She's happy to
allow Paramount to
put her and her
brother up at Le
Parker Meridien for
a night while she's

in town doing

interviews, even though she has her own
apartment on the Upper West Side.

Shue says she's eager to get back to school;
it's been almost three years since she last hit the
books in Cambridge. But her top priority at the
moment is her search for an appealing film role.
"I want to kill people," she says, perhaps not
entirely in jest. "With axes."

HACK TO THE FUTURE

Fare mulch: The 1991 Chevy Caprice and its boxier predecessor.

AS NEW YORK THREATENS
to disappear into its
latest fiscal sinichole, it's
easy to get nostalgic for
the days when men were men
and the only Seagram's on
Park Avenue was what they
poured at the Waldorf bar.

Abetting that nostalgia are
those slinky 1991 Chevrolet
Caprices now insinuating
themselves into the
city's cab ranks. With
their goofy Hudson Hornet-
meets-bathtub Merc
aesthetics, the Caprices seem
like a blast of postwar
giddiness in a city lurching
toward financial ruin.

"They really stick out,"
acknowledges Rebecca
Bowser, of the Taxi and
Limousine Commission. "It's
a totally new look for the
city."

Or, perhaps, totally old.
The Caprice's fender skirts
and streamlined silhouette
suggest a Car of the Future
bom 40 years too late. But
New Yorkers seem to love the
cars, if only for their
supple shock absorbers and
unsullied interiors, and
cabbies driving the new
Caprices report receiving

abnormally large tips.

Chevrolets eclipsed the
beloved Checker and other
makes as the city's dominant
taxi because they are cheap
and virtually indestructible,
and because parts from
various model years can be
swapped. As of last year,
10,0 10 of the 1 1,787 taxis
careering around the city were
Chevys (only seventeen
Checkers remain, some with
more than 500,000 miles on
them).

Nevertheless, fleet owners
are edgy about the new
Caprice — mostly, they say,
because the car is so radically
different that parts can no
longer be exchanged with
older models.

"As an automobile
enthusiast, I think it's
interesting," says Theodore
Strauel of Team Systems
Corporation, which has added
three new Caprices to its 1 64-
cab fleet. "As a cab operator,
1 think it's terrible."

Strauel spent more than
$10,000 modifying his
company's tow trucks
because, he says, the new
Caprice can't be lifted with
traditional chain-and-sling

Armstrong Roberts.

equipment. Replacing a
windshield on one of his new
Caprices costs $600, versus
$79 for older models. Why
bother? For one thing. Ford
recently announced it
wouldn't sell the 1992 models
of its Crown Victoria, a
possible substitute for the
Caprice, to taxi companies.
"We require a four-door car

with a heavy chassis," says
Strauel. "The Caprice is it."

Over at Yellow Cab, which
operates 78 of the boxy late-
eighties Caprices, the jury is
definitely still out. "We've got
a wait-and-see attitude," said
a gentleman named Alvin,
who wouldn't reveal his last
name but extravagantly
slandered the new Caprice's
head-spinning design. "It's
puffed out on the sides too
much — it looks ridiculous,
like a make-believe luxury
car."

But, as the Packard ad used
to say, ask the man who owns
one. A cabbie piloting a new
Caprice down Fifth Avenue
offered this review from the
front seat: "It's a new look,
and the people, they like," he
said, making his passenger
swear to reveal neither his
first nor his last name. (Alvin,
are you listening?) "It's
better, a little bit, than the
older model, and drive better,
too. It's more smooth.

"You take all the bridges
and the tunnels — they're all
two lanes," he added with the
hacker's flourish for seamless,
nonsensical philosophy. "But
life, it go on the same."

SOUL PATROL

A Conversation With the Godfather

WHEN lAMES BROWN
shows up for lunch and
the Edwardian Room
at the Plaza isn't open
yet, the restaurant opens
early. The Hungarian goulash
he wants comes out of the
kitchen in a hurry, and then,
surreptitiously, so does the
kitchen staff, for a peek at
Soul Brother No. 1 .

"You're to address him as
Mr. Brown," scolds the P.R.
woman as I sit down. The
advice isn't necessary — he
does most of the talking, in
that delicious molasses-coated
carnal rasp. Performing
backup amens and that's
rights today are two lawyers,
promoter Butch Lewis, fifties
R&B singer Lloyd Price, Mrs.
Adrienne Brown, and a
woman introduced as Mrs.
Sweeney, who bears a passing
resemblance to Divine.

lames Brown talks, in a
dizzying ramble, about
America. "Who woulda ever

They hold me
back. But then the
riots came that

up the country,

his fingers — "in
five minutes, the
people listen to
me."

Say it loud . . .

He talks about one of his
greatest hits: "When I first
cut 'I Feel Good,' it was jazz. I
had to go back and make it
funky in order to present it to
a normal group of people."
Hot pants!

He talks about education:
"The high-tech world came in,

OVERHEARD

ON THE

sidewalk outside the Spring
Street Natural Restaurant and
Bar on a recent Friday night, a
scuffle broke out between a
restaurant employee and what
appeared to be an enraged
customer, who was repeatedly
trying to hurl a plank of

timber from a police barrier
through the broad plate-glass
windows. As diners scurried
from the tables by the
windows and huddled in the
center of the restaurant, a
man at a table a safe distance
from the fracas piped up, "If
you would would sit down,
everyone could see!"

Back where he belongs: lames Brown

now. They got the fourth grade
reader in South Carolin' going
to be all -Brown."

Get up offa that thing!

He talks about why he's
doing a pay-per-view concert
|une 10: "The working man
with four or five people in his
family, making $300 a week,
he can't afford to go out. He
might get out of the groove
because he can't afford them
tickets no more. We just made
him be able to get back in the
groove again."

Right on the scene, like a
sex machine.

He talks about what he
learned in prison: "I know the
fans love me, but during the
last two years — |erry Butler
said only the strong survive —
only the strong came to help
me. The weak meant well, and
the day I got out of jail, they
said, we been trying to get in

Heh, heh, heh. The one thing
about it, that address didn't
change."

Maceo!

He talks about the
mushrooms he's picking out
of his goulash: "The frogs can
have these."

Hit me!

He talks about the
interstate chase that landed

him in prison:
"They were

WHEN ROSE CIPOLLONE DEVELOPED LUNG CANCER
after smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a
day for 40 years, she didn't blame herself for
stupidly ignoring the warning labels on the
cigarette packs, as well as the American Cancer
Society's ubiquitous ads decrying the hazards of
smoking and the continual barrage of reports on
television and in the papers linking it to death.
She didn't accept, with a shrug, the fact that she
had gambled with her health and lost. No. Don't blame me! she
protested, and in her lawsuit against the Liggett Group and two
other tobacco companies, which was continued by her estate
after her death and is now before the Supreme Court, she blamed
the cigarette manufacturers for her habit.
Don't blame me! I'm a victim of. . . .
Of what? It's hard to choose. There are so many new
categories of victimization these days. In fact, a truly
imaginative person can find many, many reasons why he

shouldn't be blamed for what he's done. As Marion Barry did.

When Barry was caught smoking crack in a Washington,
D.C., hotel, he didn't blame himself for his bad judgment or
weakness of character. First he blamed the woman he was
with, exclaiming to the police who arrested him, "Bitch set me
up!" Then his friends blamed a "racist" plot by federal agents
to try to hound black politicians out of office. And when none
of these excuses succeeded in reconciling people to the
videotaped image of the mayor of Washington, D.C., sucking
on a crack pipe, Barry blamed his behavior on drugs and
alcohol, declaring, "I was a victim."

A case, if a very flimsy case, can be made that Rose
Cipollone and Marion Barry should not be held entirely
responsible for their predicaments. After all, cigarettes are
habit-forming, though people quit all the time, and crack is
addictive, though Barry, like many of the drug's
connoisseurs, appears to have been an occasional

user. However lame Cipollone's and Barry's
excuses, however cynically they may have
resorted to them, addictive chemicals can impede
the exercise of free will. And so perhaps the
newest, the most perverse, the most outrageous
twist in America's evolving culture of
victimization is the claim by people who can't
come up with an excuse, who can't fmd a suitable
victim category, that they have been treated
unfairly just by virtue of the fact that they have
been caught doing something wrong.

Take the frat-house drug busts in March at the
University of Virginia. James Carter was among
the twelve students arrested, but when Fred
Carter, James's father, learned of the charge, was
he furious at his son for jeopardizing his
promising future by breaking the law, for being
so dumb, so arrogant, or, at the very least, so
careless as to get caught? No. The father's wrath
was instead directed primarily at the police.
"Why didn't the investigators go to the University
of Richmond or Norfolk State?" he asked
indignantly. For the police to arrest his son rather
than any of the other dealers who happened to be
selling drugs in the country at the moment was,
he felt, unfair. It was almost a form of
discrimination.

THE CULTURE OF VICTIMIZATION

It's a strange phenomenon, this growing
compulsion of Americans of all creeds,
colors, and incomes, of the young and the
old, the infirm and the robust, the guilty as
well as the innocent, to ascribe to
themselves the status of victims to try to
fmd someone or something else to blame
for whatever is wrong or incomplete or
just plain unpleasant about their lives.
"There's a widely held view that if something bad
happens to you, someone else must be
responsible," says Roger Conner, the director of
the American Alliance for Rights &
Responsibilities, a neoliberal social-action lobby
in Washington. "This mind-set is a profound
deformation of our society, a collective form of
paranoia. Bad things do happen to good people."
To give but one example, Conner points to the

issue of birth defects. "It used to be that if a child
was bom with birth defects, the presumption was
that it was in the nature of things," he says. "Now
the obstetrician is all too often held responsible
for the production of perfect babies.
Victimization takes the place of what used to be
thought of as acts of God."

The culture of victimization is largely
responsible for the $1 17 billion spent annually on
insurance to protect against litigation, but the
phenomenon extends, of course, far beyond the
courts. It is a major theme in race relations and in
the feminist critique of society. It has spawned a
new academic discipline, victimology. It provides
unending fodder for the morbidly voyeuristic
audiences of television talk shows and is
responsible for a virtual genre of books that have
titles like The Cinderella Complex, The Casanova
Complex, The Soap Opera Syndrome, Adult
Children of Alcoholics, Beyond Codependency,
Beyond Acceptance, and Obsessive Love: When
Passion Holds You Prisoner, and explore the
compulsions, maladies, syndromes, and
presumptions that purportedly prevent people
from assuming control of their lives. Without it, a
good percentage of the 125,000 psychologists,
therapists, and counselors who form the
country's gargantuan therapy industry would be
out of work.

Much of this focus on victimization is
commendable. Society no longer shrugs off
battered wives and abused children. Crime
victims are treated with greater consideration.
But what began as a well-meaning attempt to
acknowledge the plight of previously ignored
victims has developed a momentum of its own. In
their rush to establish ever more categories of
victims, lawyers and therapists are encouraging a
grotesquely cynical evasion of the ethic of
individual responsibility. The United States is
becoming a nation of belligerent shirkers, of
pouting, mewling, finger-pointing crybabies.
"Everyone is a victim these days; no one accepts
any responsibility for anything," says Irving
Horowitz, a professor of sociology at Rutgers and
the editor of the journal Society.

But that is because there are, quite simply,
enormous advantages to be had today if you can
successfully portray yourself as a victim. Among
them are the psychic rewards. "Being a victim
delivers to you a certain innocence," Shelby
Steele, the black essayist, has said. Victim status
not only confers the moral superiority of
innocence. It enables people to avoid taking
responsibility for their own behavior.
"Victimization exempts people from ordinary
standards," says Fred Siegel, a professor of
humanities at Cooper Union. Indeed, while much
has been made in recent years of the syndrome
called "blaming the victim," less attention has
been paid to another syndrome, the don't-blame-
me-I'm-a-victim syndrome. This trend began in
the sixties with the idea that victims of "social
injustice" shouldn't be held accountable for the
wrongs they do. But it has expanded far beyond
that. Criminals now regularly claim that they
themselves are the victims of PMS or postpartum
depression or that they have suffered from
overexposure to television or pornography —
serial killer Ted Bundy's excuse. In the famous
"Twinkle defense," Dan White, who killed San

Francisco mayor George Moscone, argued that he
was a victim of temporary insanity brought about
by eating junk food.

Enormous financial rewards can accrue once
victimization has been established, and this also
encourages people to go to extraordinary lengths
to present themselves as helpless. Marjorie
Thoreson, a former topless dancer, stripper, and
alleged prostitute who had been arrested for
indecent exposure and lewd conduct, and
convicted of tear-gas-gun possession, grand theft
auto and passing bad checks, and who became a
Penthouse Pet under the name Anneka di
Lx>renzo, was awarded $4 million last year
because she claimed she had been the victim of a
"Svengali-like" influence that Penthouse
publisher Bob Guccione exercised on her in
persuading her to sleep with a business associate.

But at least Thoreson was arguing that she had
actually suffered. The willingness of society to
grant victim status to just about
anyone troubling to make even the
most farfetched claim, and the
obvious benefits of these claims,
can be seen in a new trend in
litigation called "compensating the
uninjured." These are people who
have suffered nothing but
nonetheless claim to be victims
because they are afraid they might
one day suffer. Four people in
California were awarded more
than $1 million after claiming that
living near a pollluted groundwater
supply had given them
"cancerphobia." And then there is
the case of Marc Christian, Rock
Hudson's lover, who was awarded
$14.5 million because, though he
tested negative for the HIV virus,
he suffered from fear of aids.
"Becoming a victim is the greatest
thing that's ever happened to a lot
of people," says Walter Olson,
author of a new book called The
Litigation Explosion.

RIGHTS INFLATION

THE CULTURE OF
victimization is reinforced by the
prevailing intellectual conviction that
people are not ever really in control
of their own lives. Marx, Freud,
Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault have all
promoted this point, arguing that
humans are the victims of
unconscious urges or class
oppression or patriarchal social systems or the
structures of language. As Ronald Walters,
chairman of the department of political science at
Howard University, put it in his summation of the
conventional wisdom, "This business of rugged
individualism really is a sham."

According to this view, the idea that men and
women should largely be held responsible for
their own lives is not just laughably naive — it is,
in fact, malevolent bourgeois propaganda.
Success stories in the Horatio Alger mold, even
true ones, amount to nothing more than opium

injustice from its true cause — capitalist
oppression — by stirring up fantasies of individual
achievement.

Oddly enough, given such assumptions, the
United States in the past 25 years has witnessed
the most astonishing proliferation of specific
individual freedoms in history. Amitai Etzioni, a
sociologist at George Washington University,
refers to it as a "rights inflation," and he
attributes it to the "rights industry," that whole
roiling mass of lawyers, lobbyists, and special-
interest groups who swarm over courts and
legislatures with their grievances and demands
for recognition of an astonishing array of new
rights — not only the rights of women and
minorities and illegal immigrants but the rights of
fetuses, the rights of hunters, the rights of non-
smokers, the rights of smokers, the rights of
animals, the rights of trees, the right to own a
machine gun, the right of unfashionably dressed
men to be admitted to chic
nightclubs, the right of the
homeless to shelter, the right of the
insane to wander the streets, the
right of drug addicts to treatment,
to name just a few. And then there
are the rights not to do certain
things — as in the right of geriatrics
not to retire, the right of doctors
with AIDS not to inform their
patients, the right of pilots not to
be randomly tested for alcohol.
The rights list is as lengthy as the
categories of victimization.

But that is because "rights" and
"victims" are inextricably linked
concepts. If you can establish a
right, then prove you are denied it,
you acquire victim status. Most
people trouble to assert their
<^M||^^L|| rights, or even to be aware of
K^^^^H them, only when they feel those
^^^^^H rights are being violated. Haitians
" ^Pf^^^l insisted on their "right" to donate
blood only after they were banned
from doing so by the federal
government because of the high
incidence of aids among Haitians.

In fact, rights are proliferating so
rapidly that they now often collide.
Members of act up, for example, have declared
that AIDS victims are being killed not only by the
disease itself but by government officials, who are
"murdering" those with the affliction by failing
to find a cure. This puts them in conflict with
certain animal-rights activists who believe — as
one of them, Tom Regan, has said — that "we
have no basic right not to be harmed by those
natural diseases we are heir to."

This only illustrates that rights do not exist in a
vacuum. "Each right poses a moral claim on
someone else," Amitai Etzioni points out. Indeed,
the defining irony of America's culture of
victimization is that the spread of new rights,
while liberating for certain people, has been a
cause of frustration, resentment, and even, yes,
victimization for others.

Seven years ago, voters in Washington, D.C.,
passed an initiative saying every homeless person
in the city had an absolute right to shelter. All
sorts of criminals promptly flooded in and began

FUNE 3, 1991/NEW YORK 29

c.

dealing drugs and harassing, robbing, and beating
the other residents. The sheher managers tried to
ban these people for not obeying the rules, but
they were prevented from doing so on the
grounds that everyone had an absolute right to
shelter. When that right collided with the rules, it
was the rules that had to go. Shelter residents
endured this anarchy until last year, when the
City Council reformed the law.

THIS SORT OF BLIND DEFENSE OF
absolute rights creates huge numbers
of people who are true victims in the
ultimate sense: They are dead. To
understand how this has come about,
it is worthwhile
comparing the
National Rifle
Association and the
American Civil Liberties Union.
Though members of the two
organizations tend to despise one
another, they are, in their
determination to protect a limited
category of rights they regard as
absolute, almost identical.

Both, for example, have done
everything in their power to enable
the drug trade to flourish. The
ACLU has declared drug use a
"victimless crime" and argues, in
fact, that the war on drugs "is no
less than a war on the
Constitution." The ACLU's
reasoning, of course, is that the
government is infringing on the
liberties of ail Americans when it
promotes drug testing, sobriety
checkpoints, anti-loitering laws,
curfews, and the use of profiles —
even nonraciai profiles — to
apprehend drug smugglers. In
cities from Alexandria, Virginia, to
Inkster, Michigan, the ACLU has
gone to court to stop local police
efforts to disrupt open-air crack
markets by conducting sweeps, arresting
loiterers, or setting up drive-through checkpoints.
As a result, those drug markets continue to
thrive.

The NRA has also come to the aid of drug-
dealers. It opposes virtually all restrictions on the
sale of cheap handguns and semi-automatic rifles,
and on the ownership of machine guns, on the
grounds that these are absolute rights under the
Second Amendment. Consequently, more than
33,000 people were killed in 1989 by guns, and
while that figure included 12,000 suicides who
would probably have found another way to end
their lives (supporting the NRA's contention that
guns don't kill people, people kill people), it also
included 1 ,000 who died in accidents and nearly
12,000 who were murdered, among them 56
policemen.

The ACLU and the NRA are willing to tolerate
the drug trade and its resultant slaughter as the
price wc have to pay to protect our constitutional
freedoms. Both defend their positions by
invoking the tired cliche that any attempt to
create social order inevitably leads to
totalitarianism — to brown shirts, firing squads.

and concentration camps. If cars are stopped at
checkpoints, the ACLU has declared in its
literature, "we will be a long way down the road
to a police state." In a similarly hysterical vein,
the NRA argues that the Chinese in Tiananmen
Square were slaughtered because they didn't have
the right to bear arms. "The students of Beijing
did not have a Second Amendment right to
defend themselves when the soldiers came," the
NRA asserted in an ad. "Because tyranny cannot
tolerate armed citizens, those brave young
Chinese could only hurl words and hold out
empty hands against an army."

Both organizations console themselves with the
fact that, as teenage gang members shoot

innocent bystanders as well as
each other in inner-city turf wars,
and as families collapse under the
strains of crack addiction, the civil
liberties of all these people are
being protected. For the people
themselves, however, the
consolation is minimal. "I deal in
funerals. I deal in corpses. I don't
care about civil libertarians,"
Father George Clements, a priest
in Chicago's drug-ridden black
slums, recently told a reporter.

TNEMEDICALIZATION
OF MORALITY

HE CULTURE OF

victimization is a
uniquely American
phenomenon, the
inevitable outcome
when traditional
American optimism is
thwarted. "We expect
things to turn out
well," says Roger Conner. "In
Oriental culture, life is regarded as
painful, and people learn how to
deal with disappointment. Our
culture places much more worth
on individual fulfillment." It is also an urban
phenomenon. "You leave Chicago, New York,
Los Angeles, and go to smaller towns and rural
areas, you see responsibility and a sense of
community," observes Irving Horowitz. And it
parallels the decline of organized religion, which
usually emphasized the inevitability of hardship
and promised that the reward for enduring it with
fortitude would come in the afterlife. "There is no
consolation, no sense of continuity and
transcendence," Fred Siegel explains.

But the chief reason religion has declined
during the past 30 years has been that people
came to think that their own individual lives need
not be disappointing. The central tenet of the
postwar generation, reinforced by Dr. Spock, by
television, and by advertising, was that every
American was entitled not just to pursue
happiness but to be happy, to enjoy steadily
increasing prosperity, invigorating personal
relationships, glowing health, a rich sex life, the
resjject of peers — in a word, fulfillment.

The Utopian sixties notion that suffering could
be eliminated through social change, as well as
the advances in medical technology that

drastically improved life-expectancy rates,
reinforced this psychology of entitlement. And, of
course, a sense of entitlement is a prerequisite for
claims of victimization. At the same time, the
great therapy movement of the seventies was
encouraging a spirit of confession, first in
encounter groups, then increasingly on television.
It was confession of the Freudian variety, focused
on the awful things done to you, rather than of
the Catholic variety, in which you confessed your
own sins. Confessions of victimization were
awarded with applause and television-talk-show
appearances. The more graphic and detailed the
confession, the greater the applause. By the end
of the eighties, Donahue, the more earthy Sally
lessy Raphael and The Oprah Winfrey Show, and
the shamelessly prurient Geraldo were producing
daily spectacles of psychic exhibitionism.

BY THEN, MANY AMERICANS HAD
completely succumbed to — or
become the victims of — what
Christopher Lasch calls "the new
paternalism." For the poor, this
meant passive dependence on welfare
payments and social workers. The
middle classes, for their part, were
encouraged to think that they were
incapable of handling virtually all personal
problems on their own, that mourning, job loss,
divorce, disorderly children — whatever it was —
required some form of therapy or counseling. In
one school in Park Slope, a mother who was told
her child's difficulties in "socialization" deserved
professional treatment learned from other
parents that almost half of them had been urged
by the school at one point or another to send their
children into therapy.

The assumption that bad behavior represents a
personality disorder or emotional problem is but
one aspect of what has been called the
medicalization of morality. The fact that the
sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome are
disproportionately upper middle class has
suggested that at least some of its supposed
victims are actually just depressed, or even
merely unhappy; they have latched on to the
syndrome, according to one argument, because it
displaces onto a mysterious virus the
responsibility for their vague ennui. In other
words, it gives them victim status.

So does a claim of addiction, since addiction is
now considered a disease. Categories of addiction
have proliferated wildly in recent years;
gambling, drinking, running up debts, shopping
too often, and overeating are all considered
addictions. This is largely due to the therapy
industry, which creates new markets for itself by
establishing that certain types of behavior are the
result of disease and that treatment for these
problems therefore should be reimbursed by
insurance companies.

Even sex is an addiction. People now describe
themselves as "sex addicts" and "relationship
addicts." On a recent show, Sally Jessy Raphael
introduced Marion Barry as recovering not only
from addictions to drugs and alcohol but also
from "his addictions to women and sex." Barry,
Raphael went on, was a man who could "sum up
the entire addiction decade."
The idea that virtually all deviant behavior can

be ascribed to some condition of which the
deviant is a victim was once the property of a
handful of sixties psychiatrists like R. D. Laing
and Karl Menninger, who argued in his book The
Crime of Punishment that what all criminals
really needed was therapy. But today, the
Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders of American psychiatry lists a whole
range of personality disorders, such as the
Immature Personality Disorder and the Self-
defeating Personality Disorder, that, according to
current medical thinking, can force people to do
things that they wouldn't otherwise do.

When Richard Berendzen, the former president
of American University, resigned last year after
admitting to having made obscene phone calls
from his office, a doctor named Kenneth
Grundfast argued in the Washington Post that
Berendzen deserved public sympathy because he
was the victim of an obsessive-compulsive
disorder, which often is "caused more by
abnormal DNA sequences within an individual's
chromosomes than by the moral lapses commonly
described as wickedness, hostility or turpitude."
Grundfast went on to say that "the tragedy is
more ours than his. We may be the weak and
misguided, not Berendzen."

Such an attitude, which radically expands the
traditional conception of the insanity defense, is
now a common feature of murder defenses. In the
aftermath of a series of killings of babies by
mothers, Nancy Berchtold, a woman who
describes herself as having suffered from
postpartum psychosis, and Peter Goldberger, a
lawyer (what else?) who has defended women
who kill their infants, argued in a letter to the
New York Times that "the horror of infanticide
often leads society to create more victims by
responding with anger and punishment. A calmer
and more objective view leads to the conclusion
that the terrible act, while never justified, should
sometimes be excused."

The proposition that a woman's murder of her
child should be excused because of a temporary
hormonal imbalance is put forward in the name
of feminism. But it is, in the view of Kent Bailey,
a professor of psychology at Virginia
Commonwealth University who has studied
pathological criminality, a profoundly anti-
feminist view. "It reinforces the idea that women

are these creatures
who, because of
their hormones, are
likely to do strange
things," he says.

It also erodes
traditional morality.
"By revising
notions of personal
responsibility, our
disease conceptions
undercut moral and
legal standards
exactly at a time
when we suffer
most from a general
loss of social
morality," the
psychologist
Stanton Peele has
written in Diseasing
of America.

LITIGATION AS A PANACEA

THE CULTURE OF VICTIMIZATION CAN
also be directly attributed to specific
developments in the law. In the
sixties, the long-standing legal
tradition of contributory negligence
was widely rejected by the courts.
Contributory negligence held that if
you yourself had contributed to the
cause of your injury, you could not
claim someone else was responsible. In its stead,
the courts began accepting the idea of
comparative negligence, in which someone who
was partially or even largely responsible for what
befell him could still sue. This is best illustrated
by the case of the New York man who was
mutilated after he deliberately jumped in front of
a subway but then received $650,000 because the
train hadn't stopped in time to avoid hitting him.

Courts also began to endorse the concept of
strict liability, which enabled people to claim that
manufacturers could be held resfwnsible for
design shortcomings in their products even if
those weren't the result of negligence. As a result,
anyone could go into court to argue that in
hindsight a product ought to have been designed
differently. Another legal concept that gained
currency was inadequate warning, which
encouraged anyone who had fallen off a
stepladder or cut himself with a power saw to file
a claim. Men who injured themselves in
refrigerator races — in which large, usually beery
guys strap refrigerators to their backs and see
who can run the fastest — argued that the
warnings against carrying these appliances were
insufficient.

Fifteen years ago, it might never have occurred

race to sue the manufacturer. And the chances of
a lawyer's suggesting such a course of action were
much less. Legal ethics, encoded in the rules of
the American Bar Association and in court
rulings, prevented lawyers from inciting
grievances in clients. But when the Supreme
Court ruled in 1977 that lawyers could advertise,
that traditional restraint was abandoned. The first
of the ads that now fill New York subways began
to appear, appealing to clients who "may be
entitled to compensation."

Thereafter, in a series of less publicized but
even more significant decisions, the Supreme
Court allowed lawyers to solicit particular clients
aggressively. In other words, lawyers could go out
and persuade someone who had never previously
thought of suing that it might be a good idea to
do so. Nowadays, according to Walter Olson,
lawyers resort more frequently than ever to the
time-honored practice of buying police logs of
accident and crime victims. They also acquire
access to the registries of handicapped children.
Then the lawyers begin making cold calls,
suggesting lawsuits.

Finally, in 1975, Congress changed the Federal
Rules of Evidence to accept a much looser
definition of expert testimony. Previously, experts
needed, in the words of the old rule, to have
"gained general acceptance in the particular
field" about which they were testifying. The new
rule allowed virtually anyone to present himself
as an expert. New professions such as
"accidentology" and "human-factor engineering"
sprang up, giving an aura of authority to the
wildest claims. "An expert can be found to testify
to the truth of almost any factual theory, no
matter how frivolous," jack Weinstein, a federal
court judge, has said.

Given this general relaxation of standards, it is
no surprise that litigation has increased
exponentially. According to lury Verdict
Research, a firm that surveys the topic, the
number of jury verdicts awarding plaintiffs $ 1 -
million or more has risen from 22 in 1974 to 588
in 1989. Since 30 to 40 percent of jury awards go
to lawyers in the form of contingency fees, and
since it is the public that ultimately pays the bill
in the form of higher prices to cover the insurance
premiums of manufacturers, all this litigation
represents a huge transfer of wealth from average
Americans to lawyers.

Lawyers, of course, argue the tremendous
social benefits of litigation. Why should someone
who has been in an accident have to pay his own
medical bills, regardless of whether it is his own
fault? Isn't it more just, more progressive, for us
all to share the cost by having the victim sue a
manufacturer and then having the manufacturer
raise the price we pay for his products?
Litigation, it is also argued, draws attention to
wrongdoing and serves as a deterrent to
negligence and corporate irresponsibility. In
support of this notion, Hofstra law professor
Monroe Freedman once actually wrote an essay
called "Advertising and Soliciting: The Case for
Ambulance Chasing."

Similarly, litigation is applauded because it
helps advance particular political agendas —
another laudable idea easily carried to obnoxious
extremes. |ohn Banzhaf, a law professor at
George Washington University, offers a course

designed to teach students to use, in the words
of the course catalogue, "the law as a powerful
tool for affecting \sic] social change and
advancing the public interest. " Banzhar s
students, known around town as BanzhaP s
bandits, receive course credit for filing lawsuits.
Obsessed with eradicating every imagined vestige
of sexual discrimination, some of the students
sued three Washington restaurants for requiring
men but not women to wear dinner jackets.
Others sued two dry-cleaning stores for charging
more to clean women's clothes than men's,
forcing the tiny establishments to spend
thousands of dollars in legal fees. "It's all based
on the idea that it can't hurt to introduce more
claims of victimization," says Richard Samp, a
lawyer with the nonprofit Washington Legal
Foundation.

But there are practical consequences. Endless
lawsuits raise the price of consumer goods and
even cause some of them to disappear. Because of
liability risks, only one company, Merck Sharp &
Dohme, is willing to continue manufacturing the
vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella. Because
of the fear of liability, pole vaulting has been
outlawed in Iowa high schools, and diving boards
have been eliminated at many public pools.
Football helmets now cost $ 1 50, half of which
goes to insurance premiums, and that puts them
out of the reach of poor high schools and youth
leagues. The wealthy are increasingly reluctant to
sponsor Little League teams or join charity
boards because they can become targets of
lawsuits.

The moral assumptions that justify the tide of
litigation are also questionable. "Do not bear
false witness" is the Seventh Commandment.
And American history is full of examples, from
the Salem witch trials to the McCarthy hearings,
of the harm that can result from false accusations.
"The symbolic idea in all of this [litigation] is that
it is good to accuse people, even if you're not sure
they've done something wrong," says Walter
Olson. "But it's bad."

News, attacked the movie in

piece as "an insult to African Americans."
Carter's reasoning: Thurgood Marshall actually
has "very light" skin, while Sidney Poitier, the
actor who portrayed him, is "very dark." Carter
urged Hollywood to hire "talented black actors —
of which there are many — whose color
approximates that of the person portrayed."

It's not difficult to imagine the uproar that
would occur if a black actor was told he had the
wrong shade of pigmentation for a certain role.
And so, what Carter's piece really demonstrated
was the lengths to which some blacks will go to
try to prove that white society is hopelessly racist
and that it is impossible for blacks to get ahead.
That, no matter what happens, blacks are
perennial victims.

Probably no group has become more tragically
enmeshed in the culture of victimization than
black Americans. Blacks have been and continue
to be victimized by racism. But because of that
very fact, and because white society has tried to
redress it, victimization has become a source of
power for blacks. "Most groups organized their
identity, at least to some extent, around the
source of their power," Shelby Steele said during
a forum held last fall in Washington by the
Progressive Policy Institute. "And for blacks,
ironically, that meant organizing our identity
around our victimization."

While this was more or less inevitable, as
Steele said, it created a conundrum for blacks by
giving them a stake in their victimization. While
most people would agree that affirmative-action
programs, which have been made available by
white acknowledgment of black victimization, are
deserved, they nonetheless foster what Steele
calls "a politics of difference." And the problem
with the politics of difference, according to
Steele, is that it "rewards victimization. It sets up
a reward system in which, in order to accept the
entitlements that come to you because you are a
victim, you continue to escalate your claims of
victimization. You get more and more tied into a
victim-focused identity, and so, even as you enjoy
the benefits of society, your screams of
victimization grow louder."

To suggest that blacks have developed any sort
of dependency on their victim status is extremely
provocative, even inflammatory, given the misery
and danger that underclass blacks face every day,
and this accounts for the
virulent hostility that often
greets Steele. Writing in The
Nation. Yale professor
Adolph Reed called him "a
Disney World facsimile"
who was "ratifying the social
prejudice of the wealthy and
powerful." But the
temptation does exist for
blacks to exploit white guilt
by invoking racism
whenever it is to their
advantage, and the
temptation is not always
successfully resisted. When

better; instead, he accused them of racism.

This "victim-focused identity" — to use Steele's
phrase — has created a profound ambivalence
among many blacks about joining the
mainstream. Black students in the slums who
work hard in high school are ridiculed for trying
to "be white," and adult blacks who join middle-
class white society are derisively referred to, by
other blacks, as "Afropeans" and "Afrosaxons"
and "Incognegros." "Some black leaders have a
deep emotional investment in the idea of failure,
and no amount of counterevidence is sufficient to
overwhelm it," says Will Marshall, president of
the Progressive Policy Institute, a Washington
think tank with ties to the Democratic Party.

Blacks who do integrate are sometimes accused
not just of shedding their race but of actually
betraying it. Colin Powell might be
considered an outstanding example of
the upward mobility available to
blacks in society today. But to some
blacks, Powell is just a lackey for the
white power structure. On a recent
Frontline show, one black audience
member complained that certain
blacks felt that having Colin Powell
direct the war in the Gulf was
equivalent to "the house nigger
sending the field niggers to die."

Historically, all minorities, from
Italians to Jews to Chinese, have
wrestled with the fear that in
assimilating, they are somehow
sacrificing their ethnic identity. But
recently, assimilation has come to be
seen as a sort of cultural genocide,
with minorities claiming
victimization because, in order to join
mainstream society, they have had to
adopt some of its practices. Whites,
for example, have been accused of
racism for expecting blacks to sit
quietly through movies. White
audiences, the young black director Mario Van
Peebles recently declared, need to "get hip to the
extroverted reactions by black audiences to what
they are seeing on the screep."

But framing the debate in those terms — uptight
white repression and outgoing black spontaneity —
masks the real issue, which concerns the collapse of
commonly held notions of civilized behavior: in
this case, the idea of respect for the rights of others.
Talking in theaters is harmless enough. But the
suggestion that it is inherently racist to insist on
common standards of behavior is, like so many
other features of the culture of victimization, a
recipe for anarchy.

COMPASSION FATIGUE

It's been said that Americans are
developing an aversion to risk, but that is an
incomplete description. Americans are
willing to take risks. They are willing to do
stupid and dangerous things like holding
refrigerator races. What they are not willing
to do is accept the consequences of their
actions. Nothing more clearly illustrates this
spineless hypocrisy than the fact that the
Maryland legislature recently rejected a bill
requiring motorcycle riders to wear helmets but

also rejected a bill requiring motorcycle riders to
have medical insurance. That means a motorcycle
rider in Maryland can bash in his skull because he
isn't wearing a helmet and then go to a hospital and
demand free treatment because he can't pay the
bills.

"If you try to think where we went wrong, it
was in delinking rights and responsibilities," says
Roger Conner. "People are fixated on their rights
but have a shriveled sense of responsibility, so if
they don't have what they want, they assume it
must be someone else's fault."

That attitude can exist only so long as someone
else is willing to be held responsible. But as the
list of victims and rights expands, and as the
special-interest groups that promote them grow
increasingly numerous, militant, and shrill, the
people who constitute what remains
of the social mainstream are feeling
ever more beleaguered and
unsympathetic.

Their well of guilt is running dry, a
phenomenon that is known as
"compassion fatigue" and is
compounded by the fact that federal,
state, and local budgets are all being
cut. "In the sixties, white liberal guilt
could be appealed to as the basis of
policy," says William Galston, a
professor at the University of
Maryland and the former issues
director for Walter Mondale. "But
people who used to feel guilty and
acted on the basis of guilt are now
saying, 'To hell with it. I gave at the
office.' "

A fledgling movement has arisen to
try to dislodge the culture of
victimization. Among its members
are Galston and his colleague Amitai
Etzioni, who recently started a
journal called The Responsive
Community, which argues the need
to balance individual rights with community
responsibilities. They propose, for example, new
divorce laws that would focus on the needs of
children rather than the rights of parents. Other
ideas include national service, which the
Progressive Policy Institute has advocated; tenant
management of apartment buildings; and
changes in welfare regulations to allow the poor
to save money. "The economy may work best if
everyone is motivated by greed, but society
doesn't," says Etzioni, who describes his
philosophy as Communitarianism. "Society
requires a sense of duty, obligation."

Instilling those values will not be easy.
Americans want more social services, but they
also want lower taxes. They want jury trials, but
they don't want to serve on juries. In a recent
study of the attitudes of younger Americans,
Democratic pollster Peter Hart interviewed
teenagers who "reveal notions of America's
unique character that emphasize freedom and
license almost to the complete exclusion of
service or participation. When asked to name
some qualities that make this country special, the
young people [in a focus group] sat in silence
until one young man offered, 'Cable TV.' Asked
how to encourage more young people to vote, one
young woman replied, 'Pay them.' " ■

Tkasle the Passionl"

ONE MORNING LAST DECEMBER,
Nienke Vandermeer woke up
at her sister's home in Lei-
den, the Netherlands, where
her family had gathered for
her surprise fiftieth-birthday
party. She looked in the mir-
ror and decided. It would
have to go. "It" was the turkey neck — not
on some barnyard poultry but here, under
her chin.

While there was loss of elasticity, this
face was no road map of
wrinkles. "I was aging
quite decently, except for
the hanging gobbler,"
Vandermeer says. "I'd
thought about it for a year
and decided I was tired of
camouflaging that shiver-
ing blob with high necks
and long hair."

A former dancer with
the Dutch National Ballet,
Vandermeer had dis-
missed plastic surgery as
narcissistic and frivolous,
a foolish ploy to try to re-
verse time. But then, one
of her Ridgewood, New
Jersey, friends had a lift,
and another looked so
rested. Suddenly, every ar-
ticle on plastic surgery
Vandermeer came across
ended up dog-eared. And
then her husband, Hans,
who flies for TWA and
owns a cargo airline in
Alaska, had his drooping

eyelids corrected. On Jan-

uary 14, the day before
Hans's "do" with plastic
surgeon Gerald Imber —
who had operated on Vandermeer's
friends, as well as a number of starlets and
beauties, including Dolly Parton — Van-
dermeer steered the topic from Mr. to
Mrs.

A month later, on Wednesday, Febru-
ary 13, in his East 78th Street townhouse,
Imber examined Vandermeer's face under
a high-intensity light. "Your skin has be-
gun to droop; your jowls are running
down — gravity is less effectively op-
posed," he told her. He recommended li-

posuctioning the fat from her neck, re-
moving portions of the stretched-out skin,
and redraping the rest of the face and
neck in an "S lift." And while they were at
it, why not snip away the hoods above the
eyes and the puffy sacks below? The
works would cost around $12,000. "This
won't improve the elasticity or general
health of your skin," Imber warned, "but
it will make you look and feel a whole lot
better."

Vandermeer didn't expect any Cinder-

ella-like transformation, but she does
have prominent bones, thin skin, and a
thin frame, characteristics that generally
produce the most dramatic results. Imber
and Vandermeer discussed possible com-
plications: blood pooling under the skin
("almost always self-correcting," he
says), long-term numbness ("I had that
with the removal of my wisdom teeth,"
she says), or injury to a facial nerve ("I've
never seen it in more than 6,000 opera-
tions," he says). Imber gave Vandermeer

a copy of his book. Beauty by Design
(similar vanity guides are a marketing
mainstay among cosmetic surgeons, many
of whom write their own pamphlets to
distribute to prospective patients), and re-
minded her, "Before surgery, the only real
pain is mental. After, it's looking in the
mirror." Twenty minutes and $100 later,
Vandermeer was scheduled into a can-
celed appointment. (Imber is usually
booked six weeks ahead.) "Hans's eye-lift
was so easy," she murmurs.

On Monday, February
18, Vandermeer shelled
out another $150 for a
thirteen-minute session
with medical photogra-
pher David Price. He
snapped a dozen five-by-
seven black-and-white
"before" photos, using
harsh lighting to show ev-
ery blemish. Vandermeer
looks much prettier (and
happier) in the flesh. Her
gynecologist has con-
firmed that she's in excel-
lent health— and HIV-
negative — so Imber
waives the physical, which
he requires for older pa-
tients, on whom he oper-
ates in a hospital. (In that
case, like a traveling chef,
Imber brings his own
knives.)

Imber is one of 3,945
board-certified plastic sur-
geons in the country, and
one of 207 in Manhattan,
according to the American
Society of Plastic and Re-
constructive Surgeons.
Last year, he performed
520 operations involving more than one
procedure; all told, members of the society
performed 619,565 "aesthetic" or cosmetic
procedures and 1,100,000 reconstructive
surgeries, though often there's a fine line
between the two. Ten years ago, the most
common procedure was breast augmenta-
tion; today, it's liposuction. Post-mastecto-
my reconstructions are also increasing.

Vandermeer spent the eve of her opera-
tion in chaos in her four-bedroom ranch
in Ridgewood, where the family had

moved six days earlier; Vandermeer is
acting as general contractor on this reno-
vation, as she has on four others in the
past ten years. She uncrated her new mi-
crowave oven and experimented: The
poric chops came out raw; the green beans
and pasta Alfredo, limp. "You're sure you
want to do this. Mom?" fifteen-year-old
Paul asked. Vandermeer reassured her
son, then banned the topic from the din-
ner table and her mind. She showered,
washed her hair, listened to hypnosis
tapes to calm herself, and flipped through
magazines. By 10 p.m., Vandermeer was
asleep, only to be awakened by the wailing
of the alarm clock at 5:45 a.m.

On the Upper East Side, Imber, his wife,
two of their sons, and a friend ate dinner,
talking of the war. Imber drank water (alco-
hol is only for off-duty weekends), watched
half the ten o'clock news, and drifted off,
waking automatically at 6:15 a.m.

Vandermeer skipped breakfast — doc-
tor's orders — and, after a "nerves"-in-
spired argument with Hans, withdrew to
ruminate as Hans drove them over the
George Washington Bridge.

Once at Imber's office, Vandermeer un-
dergoes self-hypnosis to ward off fear. It
doesn't help warm her up, however; her
hands are icy. After a twenty-minute wait,
she is escorted to the operating theater,
where she trades in her clothes for a cot-
ton hospital gown, then slides onto the ta-
ble in the center of a ten-by-fourteen-foot
room. Scrub nurse Karen Dorea drapes
her with blankets. Frank Sinatra's Great-
est Hits echoes through the room on com-
pact disc.

Allyson Voiek, a nurse anesthetist dur-
ing more than 2,500 operations for Imber

in the past decade, inserts an intravenous
tube into Vandermeer's right arm to deliv-
er Versed, a fast-acting Valium-type drug,
and Fentanyl, a narcotic painkiller. "Feel
a burning in your arm?" Imber asks. "In
fifteen seconds, you'll feel a lot better," he
assures her. Vandermeer isn't worried.
"With my hypnosis, I can handle any-
thing," she boasts, recalling how she had
her tonsils removed without anesthesia
when she was six, delivered an eight-
pound baby without drugs, and received
only a local when her crossed eyes were
corrected at eight. "I'm not someone who
cries when she has her nails done," she
sniffs.

Today, though, she does complain
about the pain. Imber administers "pin-
pricks" of Lidocaine, and warns that it
will hurt for a moment. Vandermeer
doesn't flinch. While waiting seven min-
utes for the local anesthetic to take effect,
Imber gulps one of the two cups of coffee
he allows himself each morning, then
marks the eyelids where he'll cut. He
starts on the finer, more delicate skin first.
"You with us?" he teases. "I prefer you
be numb rather than have to chase you
round the room and lasso you."

When Vandermeer says she feels like
she's floating, Imber starts to slice. He
lifts the lid — snip, snip — then he cauter-
izes and sutures it with a small, sharp P3
needle. Had I looked away for an instant, I
would have missed the procedure, it's so
fast. Another few minutes and the slight
protrusions under Vandermeer's eyes are
dispensed with as well. I am too mesmer-
ized by the simplicity and precision of the
procedure — and amazed by the small
amount of blood — to feel queasy.

THAT CHANGES, HOWEVER, WHEN
Imber begins to perform lipo-
suction on Vandermeer's jaw.
This looks like a scene from
Ottomanelli Brothers; Van-
dermeer protests that she can
feel what he's doing. Imber
administers more anesthesia
under the chin, then inserts a catheter,
thrashing it around as if he's beating eggs.
"Are you here or in Hawaii?" he asks.
"Tell me if you want to go deeper." Van-
dermeer doesn't respond for a while, then
mumbles almost incoherently that she's
fine where she is.

Within seconds, yellow tissue that looks
like mucus but is actually fat begins to fil-
ter through the transparent tube attached
to a vacuum cleaner— like suction ma-
chine, similar to the ones used for abor-
tions. Within minutes, the "gobbler" has
all but disappeared. "What's that buzzing
sound?" Vandermeer asks, suddenly
alert. It's coming from a Valley Lab elec-
tro-cautery machine, which cauterizes the
blood vessels and minimizes bleeding.

At 8:52 A.M., halfway through the oper-
ation, Imber limbers up with toe touches
and back stretches and switches CDs
from Sinatra to Rod Stewart. (Younger
patients often bring their own music.) "I
do every dangerous sport, but the physical
tension of operating is so great that I'm
knotted," he says. He slips on new latex
gloves to begin the face-lift. His vision is
perfect without glasses, "and it helps to
have a steady hand," he adds.

"I would think so," snaps Vandermeer,
who has surfaced once again. "The guy
who took out my appendix had Parkin-
son's," she mumbles. Becoming talkative

under anesthesia, the normally taciturn
Vandermeer describes her early life in the
Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), intern-
ment by the Japanese during World War II,
her Navy dad's death in an early battle, and
her mom's remarriage, to the ship doctor
she'd met on the postwar voyage home to
Holland. "Don't make me look |apanese,"
she growls, explaining that she got malaria
during the war and looked yellow.

"You're going to feel some sticks,"
Imber tells her. He parts Vandermeer's
hair just above her temple, lathers Baci-
tracin ointment on it, grips a No. 1 5 Bard
Parker scalpel — the kind used to dissect
frogs in high-school biology classes — and
carves just to the depth of the hair follicle.
Then he lifts the skin off the face like a
mask. "You're doing it?" Vandermeer
asks. "This is America," Imber joshes.
"We don't waste any time here. This is
just too damned easy. You wanted some-
thing to write home about?"

TN FACT, VANDERMEER haS WRIT-
ten home about it. Her 43-year-
old half-sister. Marianne, a psy-
chologist in Leiden, disapproves.
Her nineteen-year-old son, Enno,
away at college, approves. So does
her 65-year-old aunt in California,
who assured her "it's nothing."
And several friends in whom she's confided
admit they've already had their faces done,
two with Imber. Only Paul worries.

While surgical assistant Carol Uhl
Gamble holds the skin taut, Imber shines
a fiberoptic light beneath it, scouting for
bleeding to cauterize. Though he sprays
her skin with a local anesthetic, Vander-
meer says she can feel what he's doing.

Voiek increases the
dosage through the IV.
"This is what they do
to a chicken breast,"
Imber says. "We're
putting herbs under
you now."

"You don't want to
put me in the oven,"
Vandermeer replies.
"I'm too much of a
tough old bird."

is incredulous. "Did I

^^^^H from the 70 percent of
Imber's patients who
are female. "You were
a trouper," he praises her and ambles
away. Imber is done for the day, though
Fridays are usually his busiest: during
high season — )une and July — he occasion-
ally performs three lifts a day. September
through October is the slow season; that's
when the American Society of Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgeons holds its annual
meeting. "I'm so lucky in what I do for a
living," says Imber. "I like it so much. It's
so easy, and I get paid really well for it."

Volek and Gamble mummify Vander-
meer, wrapping her head in Kerlix sterile
elastic gauze, covered by a four-inch-tur-
ban bandage. They guide her to a bed to
doze for two hours before Hans comes to
take her home.

Saturday morning. Gamble calls to
check in. "I've a headache the size of my
living room, the stitches and staples hurt,
and the bandage feels too small," Vander-
meer grumbles. "It's supposed to," Gam-
ble tells her, and reminds her to apply ice
to her eyes.

Vandermeer sleeps through most of the
weekend, throwing up a scrambled-egg
lunch and a dinner of fish and mashed po-
tatoes before switching to tea, toast, and
farina, which she drinks through a straw
because it hurts to open her mouth. But
boredom and restricted vision — not
pain — are her real enemies. Contact
lenses, of course, are out (for five days),
and her head is so enlarged she can't wear
spectacles. (On Sunday night, Hans hits
on the idea of taking the side pieces off an
old pair and attaching them with elastic.)
Vandermeer can hear but isn't much in-
terested in listening to Kurt Vonnegut's
Slaughterhouse Five on tape, or even her
favorite music.

FORTY-EIGHT HOURS AFTER THE
first incision, the swelling is at
its worst. Vandermeer sleeps
on her back with three pil-
lows, but she still has bloated
cheeks. "I look like those
wooden Russian dolls," she
says. Monday morning at
9:30, Gamble gently removes the eye stitch-
es (with tweezers) and the tight bandages
(which she replaces with a lighter one that
Vandermeer can take ofO. "The stitches in
my ears hurt," Vandermeer complains.
Gamble recommends Tylenol with codeine
and reminds Vandermeer to apply "artifi-
cial tears" to compensate for her lack of
real ones. "You look less worse than you
could," Imber calls encouragingly. "Still,
someone could tell you've been in a war."

Though Vandermeer could have
washed her hair with Neutrogena sham-
poo two days after surgery, she waits until
the fourth day, when she feels better.
(She's advised not to do exercise or have
sex for two weeks or to go out in the sun
for three weeks.)

"I had my face rearranged," she tells a
curious workman before heading out to
do some food shopping. It's hard to drive
because she can't move her head or eyes;
yawning also hurts. At the store, Vander-
meer is bouncy and cheerful, hoping the
checkout clerk won't mistake her for a
battered woman. Still she slips into a
funk. "Why isn't this healing already?"
she wonders.

Suddenly, on the evening of the fourth
day, Vandermeer feels a surge of energy.
"I am returning to myself," she says. The
next morning, Gamble removes the su-
tures from the ears and chin. "Congratu-
lations," Imber says. "You've graduated
from the early angry, raw look to the
black, blue, and purple stage." Vander-
meer marks the occasion by brushing her
teeth normally for the first time.

By the third and final "resolution
stage," on day ten, when the staples are
removed, Vandermeer has started to turn
yellow. "You're free to use makeup,"
Gamble says and gives her samples from
Estee Lauder designed for heavy cover-
age. Imber advises her to wet her face and
apply moisturizer with an upward motion.
"Your skin fits better, but the trauma of
surgery does take away some glow," he
says. It apparently has also taken away
Vandermeer's acne.

"You won't scare anybody, but no din-
ner parties yet," says Imber. "I'll see you
at six weeks, three months, and one year,"
he tells her. "Those aren't magic dates,
but I know what you should look like on
those anniversaries."

That night, Vandermeer looks in the mir-
ror and sees her new self emerging. "I'm no
longer married to your mother," Hans tells
her. "I'm excited," Vandermeer admits. "I
feel younger, say 39. 1 can't say I really suf-
fered. And no one's said, 'Who are you?'
All I've heard is 'You look great.' " ■

lUNE 5, 1991/NEW YORK 39

ANEW YORK WELCOME: FIRST,
a warm "We'd love to
show you the city." Then,
"Uh . . . where were you
thinking of staying?"
You can feel comfort-
able, even in a small apartment, when
your guest's a good friend. But what if you
need to put up a trio of bridesmaids for
the weekend or your college buddies and
their teenage sons? All you can do is try to
find them a decent, inexpensive hotel.

Inexpensive? In New York? Calling
around to the big hotels may be a shock:
The lowest rack (regular) rate for a dou-
ble at the Omni Park Central is $195; at
the Sheraton Park Avenue, $215; at the
New York Hilton on Sixth Avenue, $235.
True, many of the 1 1 1 hotels listed in the
New York Convention & Visitors Bu-
reau's New York Hotel Guide do offer
modest prices — as modest as $35 a night,
single occupancy. But fees that low — and
the locations of some of the cheapo
places — raise a cloud of qualms.

Happily, I discovered, some of these in-
expensive hotels really are worth recom-
mending, despite their suspiciously low
prices. I found that out by sleeping

around — staying anonymously in 8 hotels,
chosen (for their combination of attractive
lobby, appealing location, respectable-look-
ing guests, and moderate rates) after 1
nipped into 23 places whose prices are
modest by New York standards. 1 also in-
spected two others — dignified inns in great
locations — whose current special rates
make them real bargains this summer.

CHOPPING DOWN THE COST

VISITORS needn't stay AT
these ten hotels, though, to
have a good (and relatively
inexpensive) night's sleep.
Here are some strategies
for getting the best possi-
ble deals, even at deluxe hotels.

□ Try for a discount. When you call to
book a room, you'll be quoted the rack
rate: what an individual, noncorporate
guest pays. Don't just take it. "Nobody
should anymore," says Gregory Bohan, of
Pannell Kerr Forster, consultants to the
hospitality industry. "To get a discount
ten years ago, you had to be with a big
company; these days, the hotels are much
more flexible with individuals too."

So ask if you qualify for a special rate.
One hotel may shave the price for frequent
fliers, another for members of the Ameri-
can Association of Retired Persons or the
American Automobile Association, another
for holders of certain credit cards, another
for veterans,
i Through September 8, for instance, the
New York Vista hotel will be cutting pub-
lished rates in half for active, reserve, and
retired U.S. military personnel and their
families. And the Hotel Association of
New York is donating hundreds of free
hotel weekends for two to returning
hometown veterans of the war in the Gulf.
Winners will be chosen at a drawing on
lune 14; to enter the competition, mail a
postcard with the name, rank, Social Se-
curity number, address, and phone num-
ber of the returning veteran to Operation
Desert Oasis, c/o Hotel Association of
New York City, 437 Madison Avenue,
New York, New York 10022-7398. The
entries must be postmarked no later than
lune 1 0, and winners will have to provide
proof that they served in the Gu/f.

Another tip: If you intend to stay at the
hotel for a substantial length of time — say,
a week or longer — tell the reservations

It's small, it's witty, it's $140 for two at the Paramount

clerk: You may be able to negotiate a dis-
count off the daily rate. Weekend dis-
counts are common, so ask whether
there's a weekend rate.

□ Ask about special promotions. This
is a great season to be visiting New York:
Many hotels are slashing their rates dra-
matically. Some examples: The New York
Hilton "Summer Sale Savings Rate" lops
$40 off the rack rate. The Warwick's
prices through September 1 are only
$135, single or double occupancy (that's
$35 less than the single rack rate. $60 less
than the double rack rate). And Manhat-
tan East Suite Hotels' "summer festival
package," available on weekdays from
june 16 through September 8, provides
double-occupancy suites for as little as
$99 (at the Southgate Tower, whose stu-
dio suite is ordinarily $170) and $140 (at
the newly renovated Beekman Tower,
whose studio suite is ordinarily $205) a
night. There are also deep discounts at the
seven other Manhattan East Suite hotels.

Hotels don't designate a set number of
rooms to be rented at the promotional
price; rather, bargain-rate rooms are "sub-
ject to availability." (Translation: If book-
ings are low during a particular week, the
hotel may suddenly offer a special rate or
many rooms at the special rate; if bookings
are high, there'll be no such deal.)

The room you get for the special-pro-
motion price won't necessarily be the
worst one in the hotel. Where you sleep
depends on when you get to the hotel and
what room the clerk decides to give you. If
you want a certain room or a certain view,
ask for it when you call: You may get
what you want even though you're reserv-
ing an inexpensive room.

□ Book through a discount agency. Ex-
press Hotel Reservations, in Boulder, Col-

42 NEW york/iune 3, 1991

orado, claims to offer the
best rates at 27 New York
hotels. On March 14, we
tested that claim, comparing
the rate the agency charged
at a dozen hotels with the
hotels' rack rates. And, we
found. Express did provide
substantial savings.

There were big discounts in
all classes of hotels: deluxe
($65 off the rack rate at Mor-
gans, $40 off at the Royalton,
$33 off at the Doral Tuscany,
$30 off at the Parker Meri-
dien), superior ($25 off at the
Dumont Plaza), and standard
($96 off at the Omni Park
Central).

True, some of the prices the
hotel desk clerks quoted were
almost as low as Express's —
but that was because the ho-
tels were running special pro-
motions. For instance, the day
we made our comparison, the
Omni Park Central was
charging only $99 for a single-
or double-occupancy room (rather than the
official $195); Express's rate was $99. In-
deed, the Waldorf-Astoria, which usually
charges $240 minimum for a double-occu-
pancy room, was offering a "special spring
promotion" rate ($179) that matched
Express's.

Unfortunately,
however, the Waldorf
was completely
booked — its reserva-
tions desk told us
there were no rooms
available at any price
level. And yet Ex-
press Hotel Reserva-
tions could have
placed us in a $179
room. The agency has
an ingenious reserva-
tion system that may
very well get clients
into a hotel that is
supposedly solidly
booked. And Ex-
press's rates, unlike
special -promotion
rates, are good year-
round. The agency
charges no fee for its
service, and the call,
to (800) 356-1123, is
free.

□ A warning on
taxes. When you call
a hotel to inquire
about rates, the price
you're quoted usually
won't include the ho-
tel tax, which is Dra-
conian. So don't for-
get to add it in: It's
16'/4 percent, plus $2

per room per night, for hotels under
$ 100, and 2 1 'A percent, plus $2 per room
per night, for hotels over $100. (The rates
quoted in this article — we asked for the
least expensive rates in each category of
room — do not include taxes.)

Right now, hotel fees are very fluid;
there are many special deals you probably
won't find on published rate sheets. (You
can get free copies of the Convention &
Visitors' Bureau's New York City Tour
Package Directory, which lists 200 hotel
packages, and the New York Hotel Guide,
which lists the rack rates at 1 1 1 hotels, by
calling 397-8222.)

HE Wyndham Hotel (42

58th Street; 753-3500)
certain things — there's no con-
cierge, no room service, and you
won't find those little plastic
bottles of shampoo and condi-
tioner in the bathroom. What you will
find is elegance, at unbelievably low rates.

This 204-room hotel is just off the most
fashionable stretch of Fifth Avenue — a
few steps down the street from the Plaza.
The lobby looks like a tastefully furnished
living room — sofas, potted plants, Chi-
nese rugs, red fabric wallpaper. Security
seems good: Most of the time, the en-
trance door is locked (you have to be
buzzed in), and after
I made only one trip
up in his elevator, the
operator knew where
my room was.

Even the hallways
(red carpet, gold-dam-
ask-flowered wallpa-
per) are handsome.
My second-floor single
was spacious (fifteen
feet by fifteen feet)
and beautifully fur-
nished — red car-
peting, wallpaper
splashed with red and
blue flowers on a Na-
ples-yellow back-
ground carried out in
the valances, the drap-
eries, and the padded
headboard of the firm
double bed. There was
a large walk-in closet
and a bathroom with
bright off-white tiling
and blue flowered
wallpaper.

Before you sign in,
ask to see some of the
rooms, since each is
decorated in a differ-
ent style. In one,
there were Holly-
wood twin beds with
white comforters,

At the Wyndham, set in a lovely neighborhood, spacious

quarters like these are $135 a night, double occupancy. That's inexpensive.

fabric wallpaper in stripes overprinted
with flowers, traditional Williamsburg
prints, a seafoam-green sofa that picked
up the green leaves of the paper, and a
rust-hued carpet. In another, the fabric
wallpaper was a pale blue, sprigged with
soft-blue flowers; the carpet was cerulean
blue; the sofa carried out the wallpaper
pattern; and there was a double bed with
a creamy-white comforter and white wick-
er side chairs.

lessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn live at
the Wyndham, and Maggie Smith stayed
there during the nine months she was on
Broadway in Lettice & Lavage. John Ma-
dos and his wife, Suzanne, who are touch-
ingly proud of their hotel, point out that
many celebrities choose to stay there — in-
cluding, from time to time, Roger Mudd,
Sean Connery, |ames Clavell, and Gene
Hackman. Their most gorgeous suite (out
of our price range but still inexpensive for
a suite — $200) was often the New York
home of Sir Laurence Olivier.

Though there's no room service, the
Wyndham does have its own moderate-
priced restaurant, Jonathan's. The Ma-
doses don't advertise, and there are no
promotional brochures in the lobby; if
you stop in to inquire, john will probably
write out the rates on the back of his busi-
ness card (singles, $110 to $120 a night;
doubles, $125 to $135). These must be
the lowest fees in the city for such spa-
cious and sumptuously furnished
quarters.

DRESSED ALL WRONG, I
crossed the street, heading
for the building without a
name. It was spotlighted like
an English castle, and it had
the right address (235 West
46th Street), so this must be the place — Ian
Schrager's newly redone Paramount.

And so it was: Once through the door, I
was immediately transported into a world
too hip for me. Everyone wore black — the
doormen and bellhops (black double-
breasted zoot suits over white T-shirts)
and the chic young guests (tight black
pants and leather jackets). And all of them
had an air. They sauntered in and out of
the electric-blue and green and red and
yellow-orange elevators as if they were
moving from compartment to compart-
ment on the starship Enterprise.

Rarely have I felt so out of my element —
and yet the place had such pizzazz, I didn't
even mind that nobody but me was over 40
and that my three-piece navy suit and wing-
tip shoes (I'd been to Romeo and Juliet at
the Joffrey) cried out to everyone in that
lobby just how uncool I am.

What a lobby! Double height, with a
stone staircase that seems to float down,
along a shiny, canted-out platinum-leaf
wall, from the second-story level. All
around that floor, showcased in huge plate-
glass windows, good-looking young people
dined at tables lighted by little jewel-toned
lamps. Downstairs, there were more spot-
lights on the tall, V-shaped terra-cotta tubs

of flowering apple branches, and dramatic
accents: chairs in royal blue, jade, tomato,
and an orange-and-black hariequin print;
Rorentine stonework floors; and a funny
stainless-steel chaise longue. There was a
quiet buzz as people lounged around,
watching the passing parade.

However, the tables in the brasserie up-
stairs were the best vantage points. We
asked our young waitress how come ev-
erybody looked so good. "We advertise in
all the fashion magazines," she said. Like
the other staffers, she was cheerful and
accommodating. She was too young to
know how to make an ice-cream soda (the
hotel should have a liquor license by the
end of the year), but, on our instructions,
she whipped up an excellent one. Our en-
tree, breast of chicken with pan gravy,
shoestring fries, and buttered green
beans, was delectable. Cheap, too
($12.50). Room service is ridiculously ex-
pensive; for breakfast or a snack, visit the
brasserie or the Dean & DeLuca shop and
espresso bar just off the lobby.

Our room was tiny (about nine and a
half feet by nine and three quarters). Not
a place to spend a lot of time in; to open
the closet door, we had to move one of the
two slim chairs flanking a table just big
enough to hold a room-service tray. But it
was smart. Oh, the gleaming white-on-
white-ness of the walls and furniture; the
joky headboard, a huge silk-screen repro-
duction of Vermeer's Lacemaker that
loomed over the low bed; the funny eye in

lUNE 5, 1991/NEw YORK 43

the door of the slim cabinet that
concealed the TV. (Guests can
rent videos from Paramount's
video library; if the hotel doesn't
have what you want, someone
will go out and rent it for you.)
The designer, Philippe Starck,
has fitted the bathrooms with
conical, etched stainless-steel
sinks. The halls were witty, too:
lined with mirrors glowing with
weather information, with a rope
railing, like those on ocean liners,
here and there for recovering
one's balance.

The Paramount has a sixteen-
seat video theater, a 24-hour sports
room (hoist single-station weight
machines, Precor electronic bicy-
cles, stair climber, treadmill, free
wei^ts, and a stretching area), a
children's playroom, and concierge
service. And fresh roses "growing"
from the toilet-paper rolls in the
striking rest rooms. On the mezza-
nine, chess tables are set up be-
tween eating times.

Single rooms at the Paramount

(764-55(X)) range from $90 to $170; dou-
bles, from $ 1 40 to $ 1 90; weekend rates are
$90, $120, and $150 a night, double. Ex-
press Hotel Reservations, however, can get
you into larger rooms on weekdays for
$1 10 (single) or $130 (double).

of dignity promises gracious treatment,
spacious accommodations, and all the
amenities, and that is what we got — for a
mere $ 1 30 a night.

Our room, though booked at the hotel's
least expensive double-occupancy rate,
was high-ceilinged and positively prince-
ly — as big as some studio apartments
(twelve and three quarters feet by eight-
een and three quarters), with an eleven-
foot-long entranceway flanked by two
walk-in closets, a kitchenette with sink
and refrigerator, and a bathroom (lemon-
yellow towels, pale-blue-and-rose-
sprigged wallpaper, and all those little ex-

tras we didn't get anywhere
else — conditioner, shampoo, sew-
ing kit, shoe-shiner, shower cap).

The extra-firm bed was big
enough for Henry VIII and one of
his queens, and there was plenty of
walking space around the furni-
ture, traditional American repro-
ductions finished in cherry — a
double-size chest, two end tables
and a desk, and three lamps throw-
ing plenty of light. The cream-col-
ored bedspread and mauve-and-
white wallpaper were set off by the
thick, jade-green carpet and heavy
jade draperies held back by swags.
Drawing aside the white gauze
curtains, we found we were over-
looking Central Park.

This hotel offers room and valet
service and great security: In the
evening, a guard sits at each end of
the lobby with a walkie-talkie; and
don't try to use the stairs unless
you want to activate the alarm sys-
tem. (The elevators are being re-
done, so you may have a bit of a
wait to get to your room.)

The Conservatory, the hotel's
attractive restaurant, was full of
extremely proper silver-haired
diners the night we stayed at the
hotel. And yet the guests going up
in the elevators were mostly
young and casually dressed; there
were even a couple of guys with
k|f_ ponytails. The hallways are wide
and attractive (fabric walls, salm-
f% on-colored doors); the lobby,
^ highly respectable-looking, with
^ its gold-leafed ceiling, tall vases
of carnations and baby's breath,
rich maroon rug, nautical prints
in heavy gold frames. You're un-
likely to find a more comfortable
place to stay than this grande
dame just three blocks from Lin-
coln Center. The rate we paid
($123 for a single, $130 for a
double) was a special promotion;
the rack rate for our room is $ 1 60
(a weekend package offers rooms
for $123 a night, single, and
$130, double, including a Conti-
nental breakfast). However, year-
round, through Express Hotel
Reservations, you can book a single- or
double-occupancy room for $125.

ADISON AVENUE AND

92nd Street: New
York's most aristo-
cratic section," boast-
ed an ad for the Carne-
gie Hill Hotel nearly
five decades ago. Now this small, genteel
inn ( 1 295 Madison; 876-6000) , buWt at the
(urn of the century, is called the Hotel
Wales, but the neighborhood rave still
holds: Carnegie Hill, with its dignified
apartment buildings, its mansions turned

44 NEW york/|une 3, 1991

museums, its classy bookstores and block
after block of brownstones, has a wonder-
ful air of refinement.

And that's the ambience you find at the
Wales, which has just undergone a $5-
million renovation. In the Pied Piper
Room, that grand parlor on the second
floor, the only sounds are the chink of chi-
na, the rustle of foreign newspapers, an
occasional quiet comment from someone
on a settee, and muted strains of iVIozart
and Vivaldi wafting from someplace un-
seen. The very proper guests repair to this
airy refuge — restored to look like a turn-
of-the-century American literary salon —
for a bounty of mufflns and juices at
breakfast time, and tea and cookies till six
in the evening. It's so big ( 1 ,600 square
feet) that the discreetly grouped American
Revival sofas, covered in William Morris
fabric, allow plenty of room for private
conversations. There are blue-and-red
Persian carpets, an American Revival
dark-oak sideboard, brass sconces bearing
electric candles, and striking, original an-
tique children 's-book illustrations. Lace
curtains lift gently at the twelve deep win-
dows. Tranquillity reigns.

The Wales wasn't always so elegant. Be-
fore the sprucing up, completed in Febru-
ary, years of neglect and Band-Aid main-
tenance masked the beauty of its oak
woodwork (covered with 80 years' worth
of paint) and its marble sinks with brass
fixtures. Now that beauty comes through.

The lobby, with its coffered ceiling, Car-
rara-marble fireplace, and coral-and-salm-
on-striped wallpaper, has an immense dig-
nity. The reproduction pieces in our twelve-
by-twelve-foot room (a double bed, a
writing desk, an armoire housing a color
TV, two end tables, and a large wardrobe —
all in mahogany, according to the designer,
|ohn Barman) gave it an Edwardian look.
There was a jade-colored carpet, a viridian
bedspread, a small brass chandelier with
electric candles, lovely oak window mold-
ings and doors, and marble trim in the
gleaming-white bathroom.

The restaurants in the area are pricey; if
you're on a budget, try jackson Hole
(1270 Madison Avenue, at 91st Street)
for burgers, fries, salads, and sandwiches,
or the Carnegie Hill Cafe ( 1 308 Madison,
at 93rd Street; 534-7522), whose scones
with Devon cream, baked Brie, and
cream-of-zucchini soup were praised in
"The Underground Gourmet" (February
11). But stop off at Sarabeth's Kitchen,
just off the Wales's lobby, for one of her
rich homemade pastries (a rustic apple
tart with almonds and pralines, for in-
stance, or a flaky chocolate chubbie).

There's no room service, but, unless he's
extremely busy, the bellman will run out for
what you need. Sometime this summer
there'll be shaded tables on the roof, which
affords a nice view of the park. Rooms are
$125 or $145 a night; a Continental break-
fast is included. Suites start at $175 a night;
when you reserve a double-occupancy

room during the week, ask if you can be
upgraded to a suite; if the hotel's not full,
the Wales will honor your request.

visitors can spend the night at the
venerable redbrick Barbizon (140
East 63rd Street; 71 5-6900), in a
very stylish neighborhood.
The lobby looks like a Spanish
courtyard: In the center is the "fountain,"
an octagonal, moss-green banquette sur-
rounding a maroon tubful of green plants.
Rough brownstone pillars rise past a wood-
en-railed balcony to the double-height ceil-
ing, where trompe I'oeil vines meet. The
look is a bit stark, but it's all rather charm-
ing, although I would have liked a bit more
bustle in this patio. About nine on a Mon-
day evening in April, it was dead quiet: No
one lingered on the banquette, maybe eight
people strolled through the door in half an
hour, and there were just a few desultory
diners in the Cafe Barbizon, off the lobby.

Our room was pretty small (ten feet by
twelve and three quarters feet) but pleas-
ant: plain, creamy wallpaper with a sort of
Aztec design, in green and mauve, just be-
low the ceiling; a salmon-colored bed-
spread — and a headboard padded in the
same fabric — that replicated the wallpa-
per pattern; an end table; and a graceful
salmon-colored side chair. The deep-salm-
on rug was grimy near the door, but the
double bed was firm and comfortable, the
wake-up call came
when requested, and
1 must commend the
view we had from our
fifteenth-floor room.
Because this is a
neighborhood of
brownstones, when
we pulled the lou-
vered shutters away
from our two narrow
windows, we got per-
spective: night sky,
buildings of many
shapes, all aglow; in
short, the city spar-
kling the way visitors
expect to see it spar-
kle. We kept the win-
dows open; the city
hummed pleasantly,
and the traffic flow
wasn't disturbing.

Room service and
valet service are avail-
able. The rack rate is
$99 for a studio room
(which is about eight
by ten feet) and $125
for a larger standard
room; rooms vary in
shape throughout the
building. We booked
through Express Hotel
Reservations, which
offers the standard.

a walk-through of the hotel
rather than staying there. You can have
one of its homey suites for as little as
$140, single, or $155, double. The one I
saw had a pretty sitting room (yellow-

rust-yellow-and-brown-flowered Colonial
sofa and side chair, and an oak credenza
and writing desk) and a bedroom whose
twin beds were draped with yellow-and-

background. The suite had four walk-in-

and a modem bath. Quite a lot for this

TROLLING UP TO THE DOORWAY

of the Washington Square Ho-
tel (103 Waverly Place; 777-
9515), I flashed on a scene
from The Heiress, the wonder-
ful movie treatment of Henry
Washington Square: horse-drawn
carriages clopping
past high stoops,
front doors with fan-
lights, wrought-iron
railings, gaslit globes
atop iron stan-
chions. . . .

This part of New
York still "appears to
many persons the
most delectable," just
as it did when Morris
Townsend came a-
courting Catherine
Sloper. But there
weren't any carriages
parked in front of the
hotel the afternoon I
checked in. (There
was one of those
white midsize tour
buses, though, wait-
ing to take jazz trum-
peter Maynard Fergu-
son and his group to a
rehearsal at the Blue
Note.)

Washington
Square Park — "con-
taining a considerable
quantity of inexpen-
sive vegetation," as
lames saw it — sits
just down the block
from the nine-story,

hotel. Its faqade, redbrick with granite
trim, looics the way it looked when the
place opened, in 1902, and its wrought-
iron canopy is an exact duplicate of the
original. The lobby, however, was entirely
redesigned about four years ago, and it
fairly gleams. A lacy wrought-iron gate
leads into this Mediterranean-style space:
A brass chandelier casts its glow over the
white Italian-marble floor and the off-
white and green sponge-painted walls,
which bear prints of birds and French
cityscapes. And it's spotless. When a
young backpacker carelessly dropped an
ice-cream stick, suddenly — as if by mag-
ic — a door opened and out came a staffer
who swooped over and picked it up.

Among the guests, most of whom were
young students from Europe and Asia,
was a sprinkling of professorial-looking
gentlemen — visiting lecturers at nearby
NYU. "We're getting an older group now
that the hotel is getting a face-lift," says
manager Sonny Christopher, who says
about 60 percent of the guests are Euro-
peans and that occasionally a celebrity
(Bo Diddley, for instance) stays over.

My room, which had a comfortable
platform bed, was clean but drafty — and
disappointing: The spread had seen better
days, the yellow plastic curtains were a
tumoff, and the bathroom had a stale
smell. The next morning, though, I
learned that about half of the hotel's 200
rooms have been completely redone, and
eventually all will be
upgraded. The new
rooms (about ten by
twelve feet) have
modern bathrooms;
peach and green
sponge-painted
walls; mirrored closet
doors; bright, floral-
patterned spreads
and matching va-
lences (polyester, but
never mind); and
comfortable side
chairs.

Standard (unrefur-
bished) rooms are
$52, single, or $74 to
$95, double occupan-
cy; deluxe (redone)
rooms are $60, sin-
gle, or $83 to $105,
double occupancy. So
if your guests want to
savor the vitality of
the Village, they
needn't trek uptown
for an overnight stay.
They can park at this
little gem of a hotel,
set in the area James
commended for hav-
ing "a kind of estab-
lished repose" but
near all the bistros,
clubs, and jazz joints.

BLE"PART ' -
OF TOWN. .

N A NICHE OVER THE IX)ORWAY OF A
Beaux- Arts building on 31st Street
sits a chubby cherub — Philip Mar-
tiny's sculpture Winged Life. The
building, designed by john Merven
Carrere and Thomas Hastings (whose
other works include the New York Public
Library), was home to both Charles Dana
Gibson and the original Life (a humor
magazine).
Now it's home to the Herald Square
Hotel (19 West 31st
Street; 279-4017).
Sleep comes very
cheap in this immacu-
late, freshly spruced-
up inn. Just don't send
your friends there
hungry: At night,
when the department
stores are closed,
there are few places to
eat, except for O'Reil-
ly's Pub and Restau-
rant and a sprinkling
of fast-food joints and
coffee shops. And,
since the loft and com-
mercial buildings in
this neighborhood
shut down about Ave,
this area is dark and
bleak at night; your
guests won't want to
be roaming around.

My single room
(long and narrow —
about thirteen and a
half feet long by six
feet wide) had a tiny
window, champagne-
colored walls, and a
TV set, a desk, a
chair, and a firm,
comfortable platform
bed set on a forest-
green carpet. The

modem bathroom was large for a room of
this size.

The hotel's hallways are bright and
gleamingly clean — pale-rose floor tiles,
sponge-painted pink and blue walls show-
casing framed covers of the original Life.
The lobby — small and unfurnished —
glows in tones of cream and pink. Many of
the guests, the manager says, are middle-
aged women from Venezuela; every two
or three weeks, like clockwork, they fly up
on buying trips, load up with handbags,
jewelry, and other accessories, and fly
home to sell them at their boutiques in
Caracas. When I was checking out, some
young backpackers with German accents
were setting off for further adventures.

Through the end of the year, a single
room with shared bath is $40. A room
with private bath is $50 and $65, single;
$55 to $85, double; $90, triple occupan-
cy; and $95, quadruple occupancy.

HE SOLID, NO-NONSENSE |olly

Madison Towers (22 East 38th
Street; 685-3700) is the very
model of a modest-priced hotel.
Its decent, if unglamorous, neigh-
borhood offers eating places
(there's a coffee shop in the hotel and a bis-
tro and a Reuben's across the avenue) and,
for guests who've forgotten their tooth-
paste, an all-night market around the cor-
ner. And the staff is courteous.

For those who want to splurge, there
are amenities like room service and a
health club offering Shiatsu massage and a
sauna and steam room. We did not want
to splurge, so we gladly booked a double
room for $99 — a promotional rate that's
good till the end of the year. (The rack
rate is $150, for larger quarters; Express
Hotel Reservations can book you into a
rack-rate-size room for $1 10.)

Luckily, our $99 room, which was
small, turned out to be full of stored furni-
ture, so the desk clerk cheerfully upgrad-

ed us to a rack-rate room: plain tradition-
al furniture (chest, desk, and side table of
heavy, laminated dark cherry), two firm
double beds whose spreads — salmon-and-
lavender flowers splashed on a green
background — matched the draperies, TV,
and a dark-green carpet that was clean but
a trifle old-looking.

These quarters were not only rather
handsome but big (seventeen by twelve
and a half feet). Quiet, too — that is, no
sounds reached us from our neighbors or
the hallway. But the roar of buses and the
clank of cars hitting a loose manhole cov-
er, were all too audible. If traffic noises
bother you, ask for a quieter room.

At night, the dark-red-shaded lamps
and polished-aluminum ceiling give the
lobby — done up in a sort of English hunt-
room style — a burnished glow. The prop-
er, well-dressed guests seem to be mostly
business types. At the Whaler Lounge — at
the lobby's rear, past the forest of dracae-
nas in brass pots — guys in three-piece
suits yap it up boisterously.

The 246-room hotel, which opened in
1923, was given a face-lift in 1989; never-
theless, its new owner. Jolly Hotels of Ita-
ly, plans to refurbish all of the rooms —
baths in Italian marble, new traditional
furniture, new rugs and bedspreads, new
remote color TVs. But guests looking for
shelter after a day of meetings, shopping,
or sightseeing needn't hold off till the ho-
tel's redone: It's already a comfortable
place to retire to. (Note: Weekend rates —
for a three-night stay, beginning Friday, or
a four-night stay, beginning Thursday, are
$98 a night, double, with a full breakfast.)

UI^IL MID-SEPTEMBER, THE Ra-
disson Empire Hotel (44
West 63rd Street; 265-
7400) — located, most happi-
ly for music lovers, right
across the street from Lin-
coln Center — is offering a promotional
rate that makes rooms at this newly refur-
bished hotel a real bargain ($98, double
occupancy, instead of the usual $150).

It's a rather impressive redo. The decor
of the double-height lobby includes a huge
eighteenth-century Beauvais tapestry, a por-
trait of Laurence Olivier as Romeo, a paint-
ing of Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth, and a
portrait of Enrico Caruso. An 1 890 Sultan-
abad Oriental carpet covers the Italian-mar-
ble floor; there are stage-set models by
Christian Thee for Idomeneo, Un Ballo in
Maschera, and Cosi Fan Tutte set into the
walls. I didn't sleep at the Empire; I just
inspected a typical standard room: green
carpet, white walls, and a bright, rose-flow-
ered spread that made the small room
cheerful. The furnishings, traditional Amer-
ican reproductions, were dark-cherry-fin-
ished. There was a stocked bar, a Nakami-
chi compact-disc/cassette stereo system, a
TV and VCR, and, in the bathroom, a heat-
ed towel rack, hair dryer, hand-held shower
massager, and phone. ™

Alan Gwizdak was an art director,
Torsten Ahrens ran an advertising

florists. But each brought an artist's
eye to llorai arranging, and for four
years the pair supplied their creations

paintings, and pottery from Berkshire

Ahrens's floral designs are the chief

of intensely colored blooms. (From

Dishful Thinking

Folks who live in Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side congregate at Canard and
Company for takeout, because the food's just grand. Now the shop's added San-
ta Fe-style dishes to the menu. Chef Peter Ivy understands the Brahmin soul of
the neighborhood, so his dishes are full of mellow, not mean, fire. (Those who
like it hot can add the house green or red salsa; $4.50 a pint.) A black-bean chile,
j flavored with ancho and chipotle peppers ($3.75 for a half-pound), is superb.
Eating a burrito (filled with refried beans, chicken, and cheese) is like gorging on
a glorious overstuffed sandwich ($5.75), while the sweet-potato tostada ($3.95)
is a vegetarian's delight. There are spicy, icy salads, like a crunchy jicama, or-
ange, and cilantro ($3.25 for a half-pound), as well as a rock shrimp with avoca-
do ($6.50 for a half-pound) for summertime lunches. — Barbara Costikyan

weren't children in the fifties, it may never be anything more

The Insatiable Critic/Gael Greene

FRENCH WITH A
NEW YORK ACCENT

. .The Maurice is back, still fresh and elegant. And Brooklyn
whiz Marc Salonsky is already astonishing the bourgeoisie. .

"OUI . . . OUI . . . wow!" CRIES THE AD

touting the shockingly American invasion
of the very French Parker Meridien. From
the nation that invented the word chau-
vinistic — who would believe it? The new
chef is from Brooklyn. It's positively sub-
versive. Once the New World flaunting
ground for France's brilliant and egoma-
niacal Alain Senderens, then an outpost
overseen by the scion of the famed four-
star Haeberlins of Alsace, the Maurice
has gone native.

When the Maurice unceremoniously
closed last June, there were nine-
teen people in the kitchen fussing
over its fancy menu and hardly
anyone in the dining room — time
to "climb off our high horse," con-
fides a hotel spokeswoman. After a
long, deep, soul-searching breath,
it is back, the same high-ceilinged,
woofed-and-warped sound-muf-
fling room, still fresh and elegant,
with teal banquettes, starched
peach napery, and clever comers
to hide in if you're lunching with
somebody else's mate. The graph-
ics are new and the sumptuous
service plates have vanished; the
flowers are less flamboyant; the
service is sadly ragged. But happi-
ly, prices have dropped 30 to 40
percent (entrees $16.50 to $19 at
lunch, nothing over $22 at dinner).
And Brooklyn whiz Marc Salonsky
is already astonishing the
bourgeoisie.

Brooklyn may sound like a

sleepy little province of New

York from the Gallic perspective, but Sa-
lonsky's pedigree must be reassuring.
Bom into a Manhattan-restaurant family
(Suerkens, now defunct), he trained here
at La Cuisine, then at La Varenne in Paris
and as saucier and poissonnier at the
three-star Lameloise in Burgundy, fol-
lowed by three years in Paris with Michel
Rostang. Home again, he helped Daniel
Boulud open Le Regence, was sous-chef
at the Sign of the Dove, and, most recent-
ly, ran the kitchen of Petrossian.

Eyes light up and noses twitch with
excitement at lunch with the first spoon-
ful of his complex saffron-mussel soup,
cloves of roasted garlic afloat. Manila
clams tucked under garlic-parsley butter
seem pleasant, perhaps a shade utilitarian.

but sprightly sweet-pea ravioli with bacon
bits and tarragon is a hit. Luscious shim-
mering scallops hide in a hedge of slivered
shiitake and deep-fried leek strings on a
lively puddle of Camay sauce. A bit grassy
but good. Grilled chicken from the $28
lunch (there is also a pretheater menu at
$28) and zesty hanger steak are perfectly
cooked. But the chefs tendency to go for
the overkill shows up with the beef, in a
ball of whipped fluff over sweet-potato
fries and pecans that could easily be des-
sert. Lovely sweets — cinnamon-rice

LOCAL HERO: Chef Salonsky stirs things up.

creme briilee, pineapple-and-coconut tart
on blackberry coulis, and tangy caramel-
ized brochette of tropical fruit with lemon
mousse — restore the magic.

The powers that be at the Maurice have
restocked the cellars with enough good
wines under $30 to keep the downscaling
legitimate. Too bad they haven't yet given
Salonsky the dining-room snap he de-
serves. The maitre d' is glum and charm-
less. At 8:40 one evening, he hasn't quite
decided what table to give our five (re-
served mid-aftemoon) and wanders the
room distractedly as a couple arrives,
waits, and leaves without his even notic-
ing. The waiters seem green, incapable of
fetching wine except by number. At
lunch, materializing with entrees to find

us still eating appetizers, the waiter starts
moving plates so he can fit everything on
the table all at once. In any serious restau-
rant, the maitre d' would have ripped off
his epaulets and melted him into the car-
pet with a withering glare.

I suspect the hotel will ultimately ui>-
grade the crew and weed out the bunglers.
And loving the calm of the room as I do
(and always have), 1 would go back, eager
to keep track of this chef, who is already so
confident that only one dish from lunch is
repeated on the roster for dinner. His soups
are particularly dazzling — cream
of caramelized shallots and that
saffron-mussel brew at lunch, con-
somme of ginger and lemongrass
^ with cilantro and crabmeat dump-
lings after dark. Superiative lunch-
time shrimp with the scent of the
grill stud an elegant take on paella
with tomato, sausage, and saffron,
and my guests find the cmsty salm-
on with mustard greens quite per-

' ~ feet, though it's not rare enough

for me. At dinner, splendid chunks
of quail tucked into an artichoke
under a crackle of fried shallots,
asparagus-and-wild-mushroom
fricassee perfumed with tmffle oil,
barbecue-sweet sturgeon with
com-and-spinach salad, and lamb
loin with kidney and minty mashed
potatoes are all winners. Heavenly
couscous with chick-peas and
plumped raisins outshines the
slightly dry glazed slices of pork
that top it. And grilled sausage
with sweet cabbage and mustard

sauce is a preposterous companion to skate.

A patissier is en route from France, but
Salonsky does well on his own with an im-
pressive variation on warm apple tart,
perfumed with brown butter, studded
with tiny fried-apple crisps. Ice-cream
confections are tempting, too. Coupe
Maurice combines vanilla, chocolate, and
praline ice cream with bananas in caramel
sauce. La Vie en Rose swirls raspberry
coulis and fresh berries over blueberry,
raspberry, and pear sorbet.

LORD OF THE
EARRINGS

. .Hudson Hawk is a calamity, a disaster, a fiasco. In that order.
Ishtar, by comparison, is a work of the rarest wit. . ."

IN Hudson Hawk, bruce willis wears
three earrings on his left ear. Or is it four?
The exact number of gold bands adorning
Willis's auditory member caused a lively
debate among the film critics joyously as-
sembled to see the movie. There was cer-
tainly nothing else of interest onscreen.
Hudson Hawk, which cost something like
$50 million, is a calamity, a disaster, a fi-
asco. In that order. If Tri-Star and produc-
er joe! Silver (Die Hard) survive Hudson
Hawk, it's still an interesting question
whether they have not released one of the
worst movies ever made. Ishtar, by com-
parison, is a work of the rarest wit. Oh,
those film critics! Such killjoys! So nega-
tive, ill-tempered, envious, and spiteful!
So far removed in spirit from the regular
moviegoers, who just want to enjoy them-
selves! Well, this spiteful critic dares any-
one to enjoy Hudson Hawk. Go ahead.
Don't be shy.

The plot (Leonardo Da Vinci, cat bur-
glar, the CIA, Sandra Bernhard, an art ex-
pert who is really a nun, world domina-
tion, more Sandra Bernhard) defies any
sort of summary. There are no characters,
only facetious actors making fools of
themselves shouting some of the most
meaninglessly allusive, feyly unintelligible
words I've ever heard in a movie. The wild
wingding of a story was no doubt meant
to parody the square theatrics of routine
action films, but the joky ideas are so
noisy and messy, so incompetently done,
that one prefers orthodoxy and routine to
this endless josh and giggle, this camp fol-
ly with car crashes and explosions and
people flying through the air. Even the ads
for the movie are gibberish. Willis, who is
generally likable enough, probably de-
serves most of the blame. He devised the
story with his friend Robert Kraft, and,
according to Cyndi Stivers in the May Pre-
miere, he and |oel Silver interfered with
the director, Michael Lehmann, on the
set. If a mob of outraged paying custom-
ers does not string him up by his earrings,
he will be a very lucky man.

there's one thing that's great in the
spectacular Backdraft — an action melo-
drama about Chicago firefighters — and
that's the fire itself. The story has been
compounded out of a dozen serviceable
cliches — a heroic father, who dies fighting
a blaze; his two sons, one courageous, a

DISASTER MOVIE: Bruce Willis probably deserves most of the blame.

great firefighter (Kurt Russell), the other
weak, a handsome no-good who needs to
prove himself (William Baldwin). But the
TV-style dramaturgy comes to a halt when
the men rush into a burning building. This
is what the big screen and special effects
are for. Ron Howard, the director, treats
fire as a living thing. It breathes, hides,
roars defiance. A monster with a malign
spirit and nasty tricks, it comes rushing
through an open door like a tidal wave.
And there's an eerie element, a mystic
brotherhood of flame: Fire talks to certain
people. It talks to spooky Donald Suther-
land, quite unnerving as a pathological
torcher, and to Robert De Niro, an ob-
sessed arson expert. Some of the special
effects are predictable: Beams fall; ceil-
ings collapse; canisters explode. But the
flames, billowing and beckoning, infinite-
ly sinister, almost talk to us as well.

friends who know the scene in PARIS

tell me that in recent years, French intel-
lectuals have finally given up on Marxism
and discovered ... the American Consti-
tution. Karl Marx has died, and lefferson,
Madison, and Hamilton have been reborn.
After a long, long detour, the French have
taken up liberalism. All of which is bound
to affect the movies sooner or later. So
many films were made in Paris in the six-

ties and seventies about the young people
whom Godard called "the children of
Marx and Coca-Cola" that I wondered, on
hearing this news, what romance in a
post-leftist Paris would feel like.

Eric Rochand, the young writer-direc-
tor who made Love Without Pity, shows
us one possibility. His first feature, a light-
weight and extremely charming romantic
comedy, draws on the background of a
Paris that neither detests capitalism nor
longs for revolution. But what is left? For
Rochand, only melancholy. The hero.
Hippo (Hippolyte Girardot), and his pal
Halpern (Yvan Attal) are both parasites —
ex-students pushing 30 who cadge off
friends and family and want nothing at all.
Godard's ruffians paused between girls or
crimes to mutter a few words against the
Americans in Vietnam. But Utopia, in-
cluding a unified, Communist Vietnam,
has failed, and Hippo and Halpern are left
behind, scrounging in the empty wake.
Since they have no desire to join the bour-
geoisie, they wind up nowhere. They may
taunt the few eamesdy left-wing students
who remain, but they aren't nihilistic or
angry; they aren't anything except girl-
chasers.

Why isn't Hippo depressing, then? Hip-
polyte Girardot is handsome and graceful,
and he looks at a woman with a sweet

candor that promises adventure. He offers
himself directly, and since he has no mon-
ey, no job, no future, he seems almost
recklessly romantic, a man too confident
to worry about his status. In movies and
maybe in life, too, a man who knows how
to look at a woman can get away with a
great deal. Hippo moves around on the
streets as if he owned them, and in some
ways he does. When he sees a beautiful
young woman sitting alone in the passen-
ger seat of a car, he climbs in beside her,
moves the car forward (it was wedging in
his own car), and proposes that she aban-
don her date and leave with him.

Nathalie (Mireille Perrier) is slight and
elegant, one of those Frenchwomen with
precisely cut features whose beauty seems
a refinement of high concentrations of in-
telligence. Nathalie rebuffs Hippo, but
she's amused, interested. He has possibili-
ties. He tracks her down at the university,
where she is a graduate student and a
translator of Russian, and finally gets off a
dazzlingly poetic speech on the balcony of
her apartment. Lovers in Paris come out
at night, he says — at midnight, when the
lights on the Eiffel Tower and the Inva-
lides go off. He snaps his fingers and the
lights go off.

Rochand, who is 28, knows his New
Wave classics. Transient pleasures, an ap-
preciation of friendship and companion-
ship, a sense of magic in the air, a willing-
ness to make jokes but not to lean too
heavily on them — insouciance and modes-
ty and romantic hope link him to Godard
and Truffaut, even though the back-
ground has shifted. Love Without Pity is a
very small movie, but it's also fresh at a
time when most French movies seem dead
on arrival. It has a distinctive bittersweet
flavor — surprisingly intense but astringent.
Hippo and Nathalie are a strange couple —
the man almost a lout, a lazy narcissist; the
woman hardheaded, a Jewish bookworm
intent on her career and accustomed to
working hard. She queries Hippo: What do
you do? He answers honestly but with a
smile, as if to say, "Why does a man have to
do something?" Readiness is all.

In a few scenes — for instance, at Hippo's
apartment, with people stepping in and out
of windows to avoid one another — the
movie feels like a casually produced boule-
vard comedy, but the best moments are just
dialogues between these unlikely lovers.
Rochand, to his credit, sticks to his concep-
tion of the characters: He doesn't go the
sentimental route of trying to redeem Hip-
po. Though Hippo loves Nathalie, he won't
change himself or ask anything of her — that
would violate his style. People, he thinks,
must always do what is natural and easy,
which is as close to a doomed point of view
as the political utopianism that has died.
Love Without Pity is a small triumph — a
melancholy film about romantic individ-
ualism that holds its style, and its cool, to
the end. h

SOMETHING'

'\ . .You may start by laughing at Breaking Legs, but you'll soon
catch yourself laughing with it. Funny lines pop up throughout. . ."

IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY, THERE IS ALWAYS
something serious about comedy. Some-
one — God, Fortuna, or the playwright —
had to pull strings to avoid a lurking dis-
aster. Even farce has its own kind of grim-
ness: the blinkered obstinacy with which
its characters pursue their obstacle-
strewn paths — full speed ahead and damn
the banana peels!

But there is a form of humor lower than
farce, one that has "We're only fooling"
writ large across its T-shirt: sitcom —

0

furrowed sidekick, a fellow who knows
when a script is "verbose," and could eas-
ily help his boss become another "Daniel
Merrick," is fine. Conversely, their antag-
onist here, a measly punk who meets a
sticky wicket — or, better, greasy bocce —
does not contribute the quota of needed
comic menace. There is laughter aplenty
in Breaking Legs, but it is white on white,
nice for a Suprematist painting but tend-
ing to wash out on stage.
Not that the play is a washout, though.

MOB PSYCHOLOGY: Vincent Gardenia, Sue Giosa. Larry Storch. and Philip Bosco.

domiciled on television, but a not infre-
quent visitor on the stage. Tom Dulack's
Breaking Legs is blissfully sitcom. It's a
piece about Terence O'Keefe, a New Eng-
land professor who wanders into Lou
Graziano's restaurant, where Angle,
Lou's immemorially marriageable daugh-
ter and O'Keefe's former student, also
holds forth. The prof is a playwright of
equivocal success, peddling a new script
that scored in Buffalo. Given Lou's Mob
connections (Mike Fransisco, the local
godfather), why shouldn't the Family have
a hand in producing the play on Broad-
way, provided Terence will accept Angle's
hand? And, pronto, we're off and running
with mafiasomething.

It is a soundly lunatic farce premise,
save for a certain shortage of seriousness
and plot. Characters vary. Mike's taciturn.

There are funny lines popping up through-
out, as when Mike, now grandly theatri-
cal, tells Terence, "Break your legs!" Giv-
en the correct phrase, Mike allows,
"Break a leg is good; two legs is better."
In the mouth of an expert farceur such as
Phil Bosco, even "They do plays in Buffa-
lo?" becomes a knockout. And there are
certifiably genuine comic lines, e.g., the
blowsy Angle's "I was always interested
in older men — it's because I matured
somewhat prematurely myself."

Vincent Gardenia, the canniest of old
hands, may by now be doing Lou on auto-
matic pilot, but just watch how the thing
flies. Sue Giosa's Angie, overripe and
overready, nevertheless contains herself
with exemplary ladylikeness — until a foot-
rub wheedled out of Terence produces a
pluperfect orgasm; sex manuals will clear-

ly have to be revised. As her unwilling but
bribable and badgerable suitor — though
intransigent about his authorial integri-
ty — Nicolas Surovy has just the right com-
bination of fatalism and fortitude. Larry
Storch 's rendition of a puny hood could
give seediness a good name, and as that
most saturnine of henchmen, Victor Argo
is a walking funeral parlor worthy of the
late, great Eduardo Ciannelli.

And then Philip Bosco's capital capo!
The insides of his mouth having once been
sliced up by a rival gang, he is capable
only of a laugh that is half trumpeter
swan, half asthma attack — a funereal
cachinnation. No one can make his eyes
bug out farther than Bosco, while making
his chin retract almost completely, leaving
a face that is mostly truffle-hound nose
and vacuum-cleaner mouth — greed per-
sonified. Add to this a slick hairdo across
whose center a passing hurricane has left
only some erectile stubble; a bejeweled
and bedizened body, slightly water- or
pasta-logged; a voice like Ezio Pinza
shooting craps, and you've been offered a
performance you cannot refuse.

Set (lames Noone) and costumes (Da-
vid C. Woolard) deck out the show in con-
dignly awful taste, and |ohn Tillinger
proves that his directorial aplomb extends
well beyond British comedy. You start by
laughing at Breaking Legs but soon catch
yourself laughing with it — with guilty but
raucous guffaws.

THE ARGUABLY WITTIEST COMEDY IN THE

English language, Congreve's The Way of
the World, is no laughing matter as staged
by David Greenspan at the Public The-
ater. You have two choices: to sit in stony,
horrified silence, or to join the angels and
weep. If the director and actors at the Su-
san Shiva — an empty space with a couple
of columns to which William Kennon has
added two sheets of tin by way of set de-
sign — were cutting up meat instead of a
masterpiece, they could drive every other
New York butcher out of business.
Spared only are the large chunks of the
play precut from this production, which
still, I was told as I fled at midpoint, lasts
more than three hours.

It takes, however, only three minutes to
tell that Greenspan and his cast haven't a
clue to what they are meant to be doing,
and couldn't do it even if they had. Be-

sides, they clearly consider anything as
humdrum as performing the text beneath
their dignity. This goes especially for
Burke Moses, Joseph Costa, Ruth Malec-
zech, Caris Corfman, Mary Shultz, and
Greenspan himself. Only two actors, un-
der better direction, might have been
right: Jayne Atkinson and loe Urla. But
with the final insults of Elsa Ward's garish
mod costumes and David Bergstein's
monomaniacal lighting, even a better Mil-
lamant and Witwoud could not survive.

Progressively, it becomes clearer that
loseph Papp has ingeniously picked as his
heirs directors who are guaranteed to
make him look better, greater, in retro-
spect. At this, at any rate, he has proved
himself an unqualified success.

YOU WOULD THINK THAT IN OUR ERA OF THE

vanishing attention span, the one-act play
had it made. No such luck. With minia-
ture, the author, like the spectator after
him, must concentrate more, not less. Yet
audiences and dramatists seem no longer
capable of such concentration. These
days, points that cannot be repeated over
and over must be given up for lost.

The Ensemble Studio Theatre has meri-
toriously churned out three consecutive
bills of one-act plays for thirteen years.
Program A, which launched Marathon
1991, its fourteenth such effort, is once
again a mixed bag, leaving us in doubt
about whether we are watching a mara-
thon or running it.

Christopher Durang, Momus knows,
can be funny and sardonic as all get-out,
but try to get something out of his Naomi
in the Living Room, concerning a mon-
strous mother being visited by her brow-
beaten son and bedeviled daughter-in-
law. Here the satire is clunky, the jokes
dragged in by hairs evidently too short to
grab. Apropos hair, topping the mother
with a ludicrous mauve wig, and having
her enacted by a young and unseasoned
actress, is no help, either.

David Mamet's Where Were You When
It Went Down? is a shock-effect punch-
line in frantic but fruitless search of a
play. Intimacy, which Harris Yulin adapt-
ed from a story by Raymond Carver, and
directed ponderously, sinks despite a gal-
lant attempt by Deborah Hedwall to make
a betrayed woman's nonstop recrimina-
tions achieve variety and depth.

But after intermission. Randy Noojin's
You Can't Trust the Male, about an amo-
rous mailman who reads a flighty young
woman's love letters and Dear Johns, and
even enrolls in a Spanish class she is tak-
ing, is a funny portrayal of Sancho Panza
and Dulcinea in love, and the quixotic
time they have of it. And Frank D. Gil-
roy's A Way With Words is, despite a fac-
ile ending, a true, full play in parvo, well
acted by Melinda Mullins, David Rasche,
and William Wise. E.S.T. is, as ever, alter-
nately challenging and frustrating.

HERPES
UPDATE

. .Most cases are so mild that patients don't even know they have
the disease. 'This,' says a doctor, 'is a very hvable illness.'. . ."

WHAT MAKES THEM ANGRIEST, THEY SAY, IS

that people still don't know the score. It
has been nine years since the media blitz,
nine years since Time magazine scrawled
HERPES in blood-red, monster-movie type
across its cover. But then aids came along
and pushed stories about herpes off the
front pages and out of the health columns.
The message got muffled. This is it: Her-
pes is still here.

Six frustrated bearers of this news are
gathered in the East Side office of psy-
chologist Geraldine Hirsch, who runs
support groups for herpes patients. What
they have in common — besides their slim
leather briefcases, expensive raincoats,
and high-status jobs (on Wall Street, in
advertising, in the health-care industry) —
is that not one of them knowingly had sex
with a herpes carrier.

They are talking about all of the other
things people don't know:

o that nearly 20 percent of sexually ac-
tive adults in New York have genital her-
pes, an incurable, sexually transmitted
disease;

□ that the herpes simplex 2 virus, which
causes it, has been transmitted to an esti-
mated 30 million Americans. And, says
Dr. ludith Wasserheit, chief of the sexual-
ly transmitted— diseases branch of the Na-
tional Institute for Allergy and Infectious
Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland, 500,000
more are expected to be infected this year;

□ that half of the people who carry the
virus never get the genital blisters that are
the major symptoms of the infection, so
they may not know they can transmit it.

ELLEN TELLER*, 37, TELLS THE GROUP SHE

always practices safe sex and never has
one-night stands. She was shocked when
her gynecologist told her that a few blis-
ters on her buttocks were herpes. "I felt
so stupid," Teller recalls. "How could I
not know about this? My symptoms didn't
look like the ones I'd read about."

That's just the trouble. The virus is a
chameleon: In some people, it causes no
symptoms; in others, symptoms so minor
that they go unrecognized; in others, de-
bilitating pain.

In the years since the media hysteria,
doctors' understanding of the disease has
broadened dramatically, says Dr. Michael
Reitano, director of the Herpes Advice

'Names starred with an asterisk have been changed.

Center at 51 East 25th Street in Manhat-
tan, a private facility specializing in the
treament of herpes and other sexually
transmitted diseases. "Today we identify
the disease in many more people who
have no symptoms or minimal symp-
toms," he says.

You get herpes from sexual contact
with a carrier of the virus — and in New
York, you have a one in five chance of
finding one. The virus enters through the
mucous membranes or skin in the genital
area. (Herpes can be passed to the geni-
tals from a cold sore on a partner's lip
during oral sex; one doctor estimates that
1 5 percent of patients acquire the infec-
tion this way. So it's best to avoid oral sex
if a lip sore is present.)

Pain and itching, the first symptoms —
assuming the patient gets symptoms —
show up between 2 and 2 1 days after con-
tact (most often, from 2 to 10 days after
contact). There may also be swollen
glands, joint pain, fever, headache, and fa-
tigue — or none of those. There may be flu-
id-filled sores that form a crust, scab over,
then heal.

But experts estimate that only about 5
percent of herpes patients suffer severe,
chronic symptoms. According to Dr. Rei-
tano, 87 percent of those who get the dis-
ease get it from people who don't know
they have it. Symptoms can be so mild —
say, a red mark the size of a ballpoint-pen

dot — that many patients tell doctors they
assumed the mark was an insect bite, a
bad reaction to a cosmetic, or a heat rash.

While people can tell themselves "at least
it's not AIDS," the knowledge that they
have the disease Time called "today's
scarlet letter" can still be traumatic.
When they learn their tests are positive,
patients often feel stigmatized and reject-
ed; they imagine that no one will ever
want to get involved with them again.

And, to be sure, some people do leave
skid marks on the doorstep when told the
news. But some patients say that their
partners have been remarkably kind. One
young woman was so rattled as she gave
the news to her boyfriend that he put his
head in his hands, took a deep breath, and
said, "Is that all? I thought you were go-
ing to say you have cancer."

Before Rosemary Lassiter,* 32, met her
fiance. Rick*, she told six prospective
partners that she had the virus. The reac-
tions were varied. Two people were
scared away immediately, two were very
supportive, and two were "ambiguous."
Lassiter urges herpes patients not to auto-
matically expect the worst. "There are
plenty of people out there who can put it
in perspective, who look at a lot of things
when they look at a person," she says.

These days, there are counselors like
Hirsch, and patient-run support groups,
to advise people on how to tell their part-

ners about their disease — and how to get
on with their lives. Hirsch counsels pa-
tients to choose a quiet, controlled setting
in which to deliver the news — not a res-
taurant or a car. "Don't say, '1 have this
awful thing to tell you and 1 don't blaine
you if you want to get out of this relation-
ship,' " she says. "The tone should be
more '1 want to protect you — we'll use a
condom with spermicide, and that brings
the risk down to almost nil.' "

The Herpes Resource Center of the
American Social Health Association has
helped launch 98 HELP Groups across
the country that provide support groups,
counseling information, and referrals
(finding the right doctor is a vital part of
coping with herpes). The New York chap-
ter draws some 100 people to its bi-
monthly meetings, held discreetly (no sign
on the door, no attendance lists) in a paro-
chial-school auditorium on the Upper
East Side (call 628-9154 for recorded in-
formation). The tenor of those meetings
has changed a lot since the early eighties,
says the chapter's president. "Years ago,
there was just anger, revenge-seeking,
hysteria, and hopelessness. Now the tone
is sophisticated. The questions are point-
ed and specific."

Audience members can be as frank or
as anonymous as they choose during the
discussion periods before and after the
talks, usually given by noted herpes spe-
cialists. At recent meetings, doctors gave
talks on asymptomatic shedding (an out-
break of the disease with no visible symp-
toms) and controlling herpes through nu-
trition, and Geraldine Hirsch conducted a
mini-workshop on how to break the news
to one's partner.

BY FAR THE BIGGEST ALLY HERPES PATIENTS

have is the drug acyclovir, marketed as
Zovirax by Burrouglis Wellcome. It was
introduced in ointment form in 1 982 and
as capsules in 1985. In capsule form —
which the FDA has approved for up to
two years' use — it is the only prescription
drug able to block herpes recurrences in
at least 75 percent of cases. Some patients
take the capsules whenever they feel an
outbreak coming on; those with more se-
vere recurrences take it daily, as a preven-
tive measure. After using the drug for var-
ious periods of time, patients are advised
to stop using it to see if they still need it.

To chronic sufferers, Zovirax looks like
a miracle drug; it can reduce outbreaks
from once a month to once a year — or
even less often. (The majority of diag-
nosed herpes carriers get six outbreaks
the first year and, usually, fewer after
that; some go for years without a
recurrence.)

Herpes can't kill you, but it can kill
your sex life, at least until you learn how
to deal with it. Surprisingly enough, how-
ever, the risk of getting herpes is far lower
with someone who knows he or she has

the virus and protects for it; statistics
show that only 1 3 percent of herpes pa-
tients got the virus from people who knew
they had it. (Patients know they must re-
frain from sex altogether during an attack
and that — since there is a slight possibility
of transmitting the virus between out-
breaks — when they have no symptoms
they should use a condom with spermi-
cide, as well as spermicide on any other
areas where the virus usually appears.)

But how do you protect yourself against
all those people who don't know they have
the virus? After all, transmission from un-
suspecting carriers is how most people get
it. Experts suggest the routine use of a con-
dom with spermicide, and also washing
genitally and orally with soap and water
promptly after sex, then drying thoroughly.

If you're worried about vague symp-
toms, see a dermatologist, gynecologist,
or urologist as soon as possible — prefera-
bly the very day you spot the symptoms.
The doctor will take a sample of a lesion
and send it out to a laboratory for testing.

There is also a blood test, which shows
whether you have antibodies in your sys-
tem. If you do, you contracted the disease
from a previous partner, perhaps years
ago. (In a small percentage of cases, the
disease lies inactive for up to a decade.) It
usually takes from six to eight weeks — but
can take up to sixteen weeks — for anti-
bodies to form; if your blood shows no
antibodies, you have gotten the disease
from a very recent partner — who may not
even know that he or she has it.

Doctors describe herpes as "a very liv-
able illness." They are beginning to under-
stand that the disease is hitting a much larg-
er, more diverse group of people than they
had thought, and they believe the public is
beginning to see the disease differently, too.

"Society is accepting people who have
herpes much more easily than in the eight-
ies, when herpes was the worst thing that
a person could have," says Reitano. "The
fear of aids has put herpes into a better
perspective. Besides, if this disease is gen-
erally so mild, then maybe we don't have
to be so scared."

The longer a patient has the disease, the
easier putting up with it becomes. "You
learn what the symptoms are, and you
learn to live with it," a support-group
member says. To many patients, herpes
becomes little more than an annoyance —
"like the common cold," one patient said.

Still, many thousands of new cases are
expected this year, and the Herpes Advice
Center Hotline (212-213-6150) gets 200
calls per week from people still asking the
most basic questions: How do you get
herpes, and how do you spread it? Sharon
Cohen*, one of the six at Geraldine
Hirsch 's support -group meeting, wishes
she knew. "None of us in this room really
know how we got it," she says quietly.
"It's that pervasive and, in many cases,
that subtle." B

GLOVED ONE

. .With Muhammad Ali, an assemblage of interviews, Thomas
Hauser has taken the lazy man's gabfest approach to biography. .

Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, by

Thomas Hauser. Simon & Schuster; 544
pages; $24.95.

"it is through our names that we first
place ourselves in the world," wrote Ralph
Ellison. "Our names, being the gift of oth-
ers, must be made our own." In his essay
"Hidden Name and Complex Fate," Ellison
said that the names of American blacks,
handed down by the men who owned their
slave ancestors, carried a his-
tory of suffering, and noted
the example of "the Black
Muslims, discarding their orig-
inal names in rejection of the
bloodstained, the brutal, the
sinful images of the past." The
inchoate world, he wrote,
against which one seeks to de-
fine one's identity, is like the
Tar Baby, who remains "utter-
ly noncommittal under our
scrutiny, our questioning. . . .
Then we touch him playfully
and before we can say Sonny
Liston! we find ourselves
stuck."

Sonny Liston? Ironically,
yes. Ellison wrote his land-
mark essay in lanuary 1964,
when that was the name of
the heavyweight champion of
the world. One month later,
an impertinent, ill-regarded
outsider called Cassius Clay
met Liston in the ring and

danced off with his title,

shouting, "I am the greatest!" One month
after that, he became the most famous
Black Muslim to change his name — ^just
like the pope does, he said — idolized and
vilified everywhere for it.

The story of Muhammad Ali, the extent
to which he chose his name or was chosen
by fate, is a mesmerizing one, that of a
beautiful young man stoned by his inferi-
ors, brought low by the same self-love and
belief in his invincibility that made him a
hero. Unfortunately, it has not found a
worthy storyteller in Thomas Hauser, who
has taken the lazy man's gabfest approach
to biography in his assemblage of inter-
views with a rather circumspect ex-champ
and various relatives, friends, enemies,
and observers, and whose own comments
are flabby and sycophantic: "For half a

century, he has walked among us, his face
as familiar as that of a close friend. Some-
where in time, he captured a blend of
mayhem and magic that carried him deep
into the collective psyche of us all. The
world didn't just see or hear Ali; it felt
him." I suppose that if you write like this,
the self-effacing form of biography isn't
just lazy, it's judicious.

Ali — in his younger days — is better
worth listening to, as are the wives,

sportswriters, and others who were drawn
to him. Those voices bring back the ex-
citement of Ali, celebrated as a teenager
for winning a gold medal at the 1960
Olympics, excited that people recognized
him on the streets of New York ("The fact
that he was wearing his Olympic jacket
with the letters U.S.A. emblazoned six
inches high on the front didn't hurt," says
Dick Schaap); Ali first astonishing, then
terrorizing Sonny Liston ("You can tell
what a normal man is going to do, but you
can't tell what a nut is going to do, and Ali
is a nut"); Ali refusing to serve in the
Vietnam War on religious grounds, being
stripped of his title, and roaring defi-
ance ("Let the man that wins go to the
backwoods of Georgia and Alabama or to
Sweden or Africa. . . . Let him stop un-

der a street lamp where some small
boys are playing and see what they say.
Everybody knows I'm the champion. My
ghost will haunt all the arenas. I'll be
there, wearing a sheet and whispering,
'Ali-e-e-e! Ali-e-e-e!' ").

If All's skill and his stands were unique,
his retirement is, sadly, not that unusual
for a former fighter. Many of the millions
he won were stolen, some by people he
treated with forgiveness or amused toler-
ance ("A guy used my name
to embezzle $21,000,000,"
he said on one occasion.
"Ain't many names that can
steal that much"). More was
given away, or dissipated in
half-baked business ventures.
"Ali has been hustled and
misused and exploited by so
many people," says a former
associate, "that his endorse-
ment doesn't mean much
anymore. He's given away the
credibility that attached to
his name." And Archie
Moore's comment on Ali's
unsettling style in his youth —
"If you hit the top of a man's
head, you shake up his
thought pattern" — has
proved prophetic. The batter-
ing that Ali took over the
years has resulted in Parkin-
son's syndrome — damage to
the brain stem, causing slow,
rigid movement and speech.

What goes unexplored in

this chorus are the darknesses and contra-
dictions in Ali's nature. Indeed, though
we hear much of Ali's charity, not only fi-
nancial but emotional (visiting a women's
prison, he made a point of kissing the ugly
inmates, who were ecstatic; "The good-
looking ones ain't got no problem," he
said to a friend. "But them ugly ones,
who's gonna kiss them?"), there is no
speculation on the impulse behind it. So
much uncritical giving, to the point of in-
viting annihilation, raises the question of
a tremendous sense of inferiority behind
the chipper wisecracks, a feeling that he
did not deserve his success.

Hauser tells us very little about Ali's
early days, but he does mention that Ali's
father would at times become violent to-
ward his mother and twice was arrested

for assault. Yet nothing is made of the
conflicts and tensions that this would cre-
ate in a boy, or what it might have had to
do with his becoming a fighter. Ali
learned boxing, he still insists, so he could
punish a boy who stole his bicycle when
he was twelve. There may, however, be a
bit more than this Bells of St. Mary's busi-
ness to explain why this ingenuous fellow
could pound Ernie Terrell, who had called
him "Clay," savagely for fourteen rounds,
shouting at the by-then deafened boxer,
"What's my name! What's my name!"

Nowadays, Ali still makes money with
his hands. Several times a year, he makes
personal appearances, at which he signs
more than 1,500 autographs. "The going
rate for his signature is still twenty-five
dollars." We may know the price of Mu-
hammad All's name, but what is hidden in
it? Ali was the greatest, but who was Ali?

Brazzaville Beach, by William Boyd.
William Morrow; 316 pages: $21.

Brazzaville Beach nearly sinks in its
launching chapter, with a wishy-washy
heroine ("more or less," "after a fash-
ion," "I suppose," "Sometimes I ask my-
self what am 1 doing here?") and a juve-
nile trick (Clovis, who watches a woman
remove her shirt and bra, turns out to be a
chimpanzee). After that, though, William
Boyd makes the latter point with far more
subtlety — apes behave as viciously as hu-
mans, humans behave as crudely as apes
in this story of a research station in the
Congo where disturbances in the animal
population echo rivalries among the scien-
tists studying them and the rustling guer-
rillas in the bush.

Hope Clearwater, fleeing a disastrous
marriage to a mathematician who is all
brain, observes aggression and cruelty
among the chimps — a finding that dis-
pleases her station chief, who has devoted
his life to studying "the peaceful primate."
As more of Hope's discoveries are sup-
pressed, she fears for her reputation, then
her life. The warfare at the station distracts
her from the growing danger outside: On a
drive with a male colleague, they are kid-
napped by the sardonic Dr. Amilcar and a
volleyball team toting Kalashnikovs.

Boyd is a swift and graceful writer. He's
great at describing torture in a way that is
vivid yet bearable; he knows the smell of a
burning body ("porky, nutty, sour and min-
eral") and the heft of a waterlogged one.
There is also the nice opposition between
mental and sensual types, between chaos
and order (Hope's husband is tiying to cod-
ify and predict turbulence). But the charac-
terizations don't match up to the structure
and atmosphere; Hope is more admirable
than interesting, and one can't quite believe
in the intensity she arouses in others. Braz-
zaville Beach carries you along quickly
enough, but it doesn't make you feel
you've arrived anywhere. H

CONTINENTAL

DIVIDE

. .Most exhibitions come in neat packages, but 'Africa Explores'
is so maddeningly messy that you just want to go back to bed. .

1 WONDER WHAT AMERICAN CULTURE WOULD

look like to a twenty-first-century African
curator. Would she stock her Plexiglas
cases with Shaker bentwood boxes and
McDonald's polystyrene clamshells to
compare two centuries of American taste?
You can picture her wild ride down 1-80
to collect the "people's art": seashell
necklaces, Northwest Indian masks, Tex-
Mex primitivists, beer-can architecture,
lesse Helms's granddaughter's Christ on
velvet, and an occasional painting from a
gallery.

"Africa Explores: 20th Century Afri-
can Art" suffers from a confusion every
bit as raucous. Most exhibitions come in
neat packages prettily tied up, but this one
is so maddeningly messy that you just want
to go back to bed. In case you do: Take the
book, a much more substantial, significant,
and (literally) wei^ty document.

Even there, however, the complications
of art politics throughout sub-Saharan Af-
rica are obviously dizzying to the seven
contributors. Mostly, the book is a breath-
less candy-store inventory of new (to us)
information — a not-unvaluable service.
Our TV cameras penetrate only as far as
the starving refugees and dried-up plains;
otherwise, Africa is still a dark spot in the
Euramerican mind. In 1989, the French
organized "Magicians of the Earth,"
which looked for artists in far-flung
places. Last year, the Studio Museum in
Harlem showed nine Africans with an in-
ternational presence. Between those two
poles — indigenous and exogenous — lies a
lot of terra incognita. "Africa Explores"
stakes out its tent city on every hilltop.

Susan Vogel, director of the Center for
African Art, organized this show with ex-
hibition coordinator Ima Ebong. You can
imagine Vogel's problems by reversing
them. Everybody knows what the "tip" of
American art would be, but what do you
do with the rest of the iceberg? To put up
133 works from fifteen countries, Vogel
must confront and defeat Western preju-
dices that say the only good African art is
Extinct (her term for "stashed away in
museums"). She valiantly argues that Af-
ricans have always been eager for the lat-
est in art, music, dance, and ritual. What
we regard as "correct" traditions were es-
sentially fads, frozen at the moment of
first encounter with Europeans. I'm sure
she's right. But I get the feeling that

POLITICAL REALISM: Tshibumba Kanda-Matulu's La mort historique de Lumumba.

she is tacking her theses on the wrong
church door.

The sub-Saharan continent is going
through the same wild upheavals as Borneo
and Bhutan, Indonesia and nonwhite Aus-
tralia. Strongly tribal, sacramental rites are
colliding head-on with the forces of mod-
ernization. Air-conditioned Mercedes lim-
ousines scream past camel carts in India. In
Bhutan, my young, traditionally dressed girl
guide wore a Madonna button. In Bali, the
tourists buy gamelan tapes, and the natives
buy rock and roll. Who could possibly ex-
pect art to ignore reality?

In the book, Donald John Cosentino pro-
vides a much-needed critical look at the
truth he calls Afrokitsch. Cosentino knows
Africans' habit of easygoing, pragmatic ap-
propriation of whatever is at hand, includ-
ing their own history. Artists in these coun-
tries have discovered that art can serve
many purposes, from signage and self-em-
ployment to nationalist propaganda or pri-
vate (and privileged) odyssey. Cosentino
lists a few more: "political schlock, festival
decor, billboard nostalgia, fast-food caryat-
ids." As he says, "All kitsch is imitation,
but not all imitation is kitsch."

And not all kitsch is bad. Good kitsch is
fiercely inventive, good-looking, fun, and
purposeful. Its penchant for copying is

not a problem to the people it serves, since
art in those societies is intended to charm
the consumer (or the ritualist). There are
new forms of kitsch in the making around
the globe. In the twenty-first century, I pre-
dict, the equatorial countries v^ll turn this
German word on its head and force us to
recognize its weird potential.

The exhibition is divided between the
Center on 68th Street and the New Muse-
um in SoHo. There is something odd in
seeing contemporary African art in a
small, dark, hot townhouse. The New Mu-
seum's larger and more socially neutral
setting allows the good work to cut loose.

In the spirit of my mythical African cura-
tor, I can recommend a few pieces I ad-
mired. Sokari Douglas Camp, a Nigerian
living in England, stops the show down-
town with an astonishing metal boat rowed
by invisible oarsmen and helmed by a
stamping, gyrating shaman figure. She has
also made a ceremonial metal bed for a
corpse; animated attendants wave away
flies. Africa, for her, is a place of vital mem-
ories and unbodied energies. The smooth,
perfect pots of Magdelene Odundo, a Ken-
yan living in London, carry the ghostly im-
print of African design. New Image paint-
ings with a "primitivist" Egyptian flavor are
by Quattara, who was bom in the Ivory

Coast and has studied in Paris and lived in
New York. So much for mixed influences.

Artists who stayed home are likely to be
unnervingly commercial. A group of Zaire
painters — including Tshibumba Kanda-
Matulu, who paints on flour sacks, and
the national hero, Cheri Samba — do real-
ist social parables that remind me stylisti-
cally (and unintentionally) of Roz Chast's
New Yorker cartoons. Homegrown artists
of note include Kane Kwei, carving cus-
tom wooden coffins in shapes requested by
relatives of the dead (a Mercedes, a hen and
chicks, an onion), and S. I. Akpan, a Nigeri-
an who makes stiff, energetic portrait sculp-
tures — of painted cement. Trigo Piula is a
man in the middle: His paintings satirize
the contemporary African's obsession with
salvation through Western idioms.

The attentive reader of wall labels will
notice how much of this "African" art
comes from Western collections: from
museums in Europe and America, and
from private individuals with distinctly
non-African names. Akpan's seated chief
is owned by a museum in Lyons. Kane
Kwei's coffins are from museums in Rot-
terdam, San Francisco, and New Mexico.
A set of appliqued flags belongs to the
Fowler Museum of Cultural History at
UCLA. The chapter on painting in Zaire is
not only written by Bogumil Jewsiewicki
but profusely illustrated from his collec-
tion. Obviously, what we're seeing has al-
ready been validated in the Western mar-
ketplace, if we can't separate commerce
and art in our own minds, can we demand
it of the Africans?

Vogel has assigned all these artists to cat-
egories: Traditional (the continuation of rit-
ual art into the twentieth century), New
Functional (a euphemism for "folk" or
"utilitarian"). Urban (you could call it
"street folk"), and International. In prac-
tice, these are just road guides that don't
lead anywhere, except perhaps to relief for
the curator. They tend to obscure the per-
ception, fundamental to art outside the
West (and inside it, too, in some places),
that the artist is just a hand for hire. In parts
of India, even now, you can pay boys to
produce small masterpieces of Mogul paint-
ing, just as the Moguls themselves did.

To accept non- Western contemporary art
into Western connoisseurship systems, we
will have to rethink the basics. As culture
becomes globalized, we'll have to do it
whether we like it or not — or else miss
something profound. How is an African
sign painter different from his counterpart
in Djakarta or Delhi? That's an enormous
question, touching on whole unexplored
continents of cultural, anthropological, po-
litical, aesthetic, and economic theory. "Af-
rica Explores" has barely begun the job.
That it attempted such a feat at all is an act
of wild idealistic courage. (The Center for
African Art: 54 East 68th Street; through
December 31. The New Museum: 583
Broadway; through August 18.) ■

JUST SAY

YOU don't know why some places appeal
to you. I'd been staring at the horrible
snake plants in the darkened windows of
Marion's Continental Restaurant and
Lounge (354 Bowery, at Great Jones
Street; 475-7621) for three weeks before
I realized 1 could no longer resist: I simply
had to go in and eat a plate of escarole
with olio e aglio, my favorite dish.

I had such a good time — and ate so
much splendid food — that I'm not even
sorry to report that the escarole wasn't
good (burned garlic made it bitter). Ev-
erything else was: the pungent bouilla-

baisse, scallops in garlicky cream, my ide-
al Caesar salad (crunchy, with just the
right zing), and lemon tart so sweet and
sour, my husband's face seemed perma-
nently frozen into a kiss. 1 liked that too.

I'd also like to recommend the house
drink, a Gibson, which undoubtedly con-
tributed to the joie de vivre in the room.
("Miss, could 1 please, please have some
water?" a customer barked at a waitress
in decidedly imperious tones. "Absolutely
not," she replied, which made even that
customer laugh.) Pregnant and teetotal-
ing, I had only that dullest of drinks,
house wine hosed down with seltzer.
Therefore, I attribute my great happiness
that evening solely to the food.

Among the appetizers, my first choice is
the ungreasy fried calamari ($5.50). As
with that brand of potato chips, you can't
eat just one — order, that is. Our party want-
ed two, and refrained only because of the
other good choices we made: grilled Tus-
can eggplant with bean puree ($4.95), pep-

pery chicken-liver mousse on crisp sesame
bread ($5.50), and that light and cheesy
Caesar salad ($4.95). I could've ordered
each one twice, eaten more bread (the skin-
ny, all-crust type), and happily gone home.

But then I would've missed the bouilla-
baisse. The last one I'd eaten was at Le
Cirque, and it was better than this (more
scallops, more shrimp), although consid-
ering the prices (Marion's, $10.50; Sirio
Maccioni's, a lot more), Marion's comes
out ahead. Though short on saffron, it had
plenty of tomatoey oomph — hardly tradi-
tional, but then neither was our waitress
(a hard-boiled Madonna in a
black-lace tutu), and we liked
her too. The scallops, tender
and sweet, were "like toasted
marshmallows," said a non-
poet among us — it's not a
perfect metaphor, but that's
what they were like: crunchy
on the outside and meltingly
moist within ($10.95). The
grilled tuna ($10.50) was
rare, smoky, and smeared
with an olive tap6nade redo-
lent of Tuscany, where some-
one in the kitchen evidently
did time.

In the dessert category, only
the lemon tart stood out, so
sharp it hurt, but there was all
that nice cool cream to use as
balm ($4.50). The Gateau du
Mort (chocolate cake, vanilla
ice cream, and strawberry pu-
r6e, $4.50) was nothing to die
for, though, as my companion said, "you
could get the same ingredients at Shop-Rite
and it would still taste good."

Q. So who is Marion? After all those
vodka Gibsons, you still want to know.
A. An ex-model who, having come to
America via Hungary via Paris after
World War 11, gave lots of parties and had
lots of friends (among her purported ex-
beaux: Rex Harrison, Richard Burton,
and a Kennedy — her son won't say which,
but pictures of Bobby and |ack are all over
the walls). Last july, her son, Richard S.
Bach, decided to open Marion's, a restau-
rant that, with its vase of yellow roses, is a
tribute to his mother, who died in 1985. It
is a place that is retro and campy but
where real meaning is enshrined — which,
in the East Village, is rare.

Marion's is open Sunday through
Thursday 6 to 11 p.m., Fridays and Satur-
days till midnight; brunch (and fashion
show) the first Sunday of every month
noon to 3 p.m. No credit cards. ■■

THEATER GUIDE

COMPILED BY KATE O'HARA

In this listing of movie theaters in the greater New
York area, the Manhattan theaters are listed
geographically; those in the other boroughs,
alphabetically; and those elsewhere, by county. The
number preceding each theater is used for cross-
indexing the capsule reviews that follow.

Schedules are accurate at press time, but theater owners
may make late program changes. Phone ahead and
avoid disappointment and rage.

it New fUnu recommended by New York's critic.

AilCE~(1 hr. 46 min.; 199(J) Having married a wealthy
man (William Hurt) when she was very young, Alice
Tate (Mia Farrow) has moved to Manhattan and
adopted shopping as a way of life. Alice is quietly sati-
rized, but so quietly that it*s almost a form of cod-
dling; she's meant to be lost and rather dim but also
adorable and even noble. Alice, with the aid of some
magic herbs, tries to change her hfe. The movie has
charming moments, but it also has a pecuUar, swank
unreality — no one in it seems fully ahve. There's a
san:timonious tone in Alite that's awfully preachy —
as if Shakespeare had tumed A Midsummer Night's
Dream into a fund-raiser for nunneries. With Joe Man-
tegna, BIythe Danner, and Alec Baldwin, all misused.
Cinematography by Carlo Di Palma. (1/14/91) PG-
13. 14

AMBITION— <> hr. 40 min.; 1991) A frustrated young
writer (Lou Diamond Phillips) attempts to launch his
writing career with a sensationalist expose of "The
Valentine's Day Slasher" — now out on parole. As he
insinuates himself into the murderer's life, he discov-
ers his own latent criminal tendencies and unscnjpu-
lousness. R. 708, 756

AN AN«EL AT MY TABLE— (2 hr. 38 mm.; 1991) Jane
Campion has made a dry and plain movie from the
rapturously lyrical autobiography of the New Zea-
land writer Janet Frame. The astringency of Campi-
on's visual palette is nevertheless pleasing, and Kerry
Fox, a large actress with a thatch of unmanageable red
hair, plays the morbidly shy Janet with a streak of va-
grant sensuality. Campion revels in the joke that this
awkward, unprepossessing woman, diagnosed as a
schizophrenic and subjecti-d to clcctroshock therapy,
could emerge as a major writer, but she emphasizes
the shyness so much that we never see the aggressive
intclhgcnce, the sensibility, the taste — whatever it was
that made Frame a writer. Campion appears to love
victimization more than art. (5/27/91) R. 9, 50

THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFE— (1 hr. 30 min.; 1991)
This adaptation of Carson McCullers's famous 1941
story is awkward and puzzling. McCullers writes
with an entrancing plainness and an entrancing oddi-
ty, as if she were just talking in your ear, but the mov-
ie never finds a comfortable tone. Its greatest interest
is Vanessa Redgrave as the classic McCullers's cre-
ation Miss Amelia. Southern landowner and moon-
shiner, an amazon every bit as strong as a man. Miss
Amelia rules over the town in bitter chastity, half
witch, half ungracious goddess. Redgrave is striking-
ly odd, but things take a mm for the worse when
Cork Hubbert enters, as Amelia's wandering cousin,
Lymon, a tiny hunchback with a broad streak of self-
pity. Hubbert has a rasping voice and a razory laugh,
and he's busy and theatrical in the worst way. Miss
Amelia takes a shine to Cousin Lymon. But suddetJy,
her handsome husband of ten years ago, Marvin
Macy (Keith Carradine), a man she humiliated, refus-
ing to sleep with him, returns to claim his revenge.
And then Lymon falls in love with him, and the two
of them set about destroying Miss Amelia. There is an
epic fistfight between Marvin and Amelia, a scene that
goes on forever, senselessly, bloodily, the man and
woman Hailing away at each other. In the end, we
can't tell whether to take The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
realistically or mythically, and we suspca the film-
makers didn't know either. Directed by Simon Cal-
low. (5/27/91) NR. 3

COMFORT OF STMNOERS— (1 hr. 45 min.; 1991) WhUe
on vacation in Venice, an English couple is befriended
by a decadent stranger (Christopher Walken) and his
mysterious wife (Helen Mirren). The young couple is
quickly enticed into a sinister world of sexual deprav-
ity. Directed by Paul Schrader. With Natasha llich-
ardson and Rupert Everett. R. 3

CYRANO DC BERfiERAC— (2 hrs. 18 min.; 1990) In
French, Eng. subtitles. Edmond Rostand's play is a
flamboyant and heartfelt piece of kitsch, but the mak-
ers of the new French Cyrano don't seem to know that
the play is ersatz art. They mount it and play it as if it
were tragic stuff, a national epic — something by Cor-
neillc or Viaor Hugo at least. Tremendous realism,
tremendous emotion, crowds, torches, batdes,
smoke, falling bodies . . . my God, it's overblown,
llie size of the produaion is out of all proportion to
the fragile theatrical conceits at the heart of the play.
And Gerard Dcpardicu, as Cyrano, is so large and vi-
olent, a rushing torrent of a man. that there remains
little reason for Cyrano not to have the erotic tri-
umphs he longs for. His oversize nose couldn't have
slowed him down; a woman would have to be mad to
want mousy little Christian (Vincent Perez) rather
than him. With Vincent Perez, Anne Brochet. Direct-
ed by Jean-Paul Rappcncau. (1 1/19/90) PG. 81

DADDY NOSTALGIA— (I hr. 45 min; 1990) In Bcrtrand
Tavernier's new fdm. Dirk Bogardc, 70, plays a self-
ish man who's dying and wants to hold on to the plea-
sures of his life. In his httle villa in the south of France,
he seeks reconciliation with the grown-up screenwrit-
er daughter (jane Birkin) he has always slighted. The
movie, a "chamber film" — all little scenes and under-
tones — is too thin and too complacently literary, but
Bogardc's work is startling. He is so intense that he is
rather racking to watch. At first Bogardc seems bur-
ied within himself, showing only Daddy's humiUa-
tion at being tired all the time. But the man under the
invalid slowly comes into focus. He's not meant to be
a profound figure — only a pleasure-loving, fastidious
man. His irritable daughter could be the product of
his feeUng for beauty extended into a more indepen-
dent and creative life. There's a good scene in which
he says that life was "sweeter when there were ser-
vants." and Jane Birkin loses her temper. His remark
"You have to look at beauty as if you were looking at

it for the first time" will stand as an aesthete's brutally
pragmatic advice to a sadly polluted world. Written

★ DANCESWITH WOLVES— (3 hrs. 10 min.; 19<X1) Kevin
Cosmer's directorial debut is a three-hour epic West-
cm. and not at all bad, either. Lieutenant Dunbar
(Cosmcr), a Civil War hero on the Union side, takes a
post deep in Sioux country. He approaches a tribe liv-
ing nearby, gains their trust, learns their ways, and
becomes one of them. Eventually, he fights at their
side against their enemies and in return is treated as a
traitor by the Army, whose soldiers, a low, scruffy
bunch, are hell-bent on annihilating the savages. The
movie is not deeply imaginc-d; it's overdelibcrate and
more pictorial than dramatic. But even if Cosmer's
camera technique is occasionally laughable, this is also
an enjoyable, stirring, and extremely honorable mov-
ie. The doomed Sioux are heroic — dignified and fierce
and strange — but not stiff-jointed or incomprehensi-
ble. They anually seem like people. And Cosmer's
deliberatencss pays off. He captures the hush that falls
on the Western landscape, the strangeness of the new
terrain. This is a movie about land — turf, finally,
which is what the Indians had and the whites wanted.

DEFENDINC VOVR LIFE— (I hr. 50 mm.; 1991) A lethar-
gic and depressed after-death comedy from Albert
Brooks, who was once a promising director of satire.
In Judgment City, a sterile purgatory with manicured
lawns, Daniel Miller (Brooks), is put on trial. With
judges and attorneys, he examines scenes from his life
projected on a screen, quintessential moments of de-
feat in which, say. he allowed himself to be bested by
a schoolyard bully or failed to invest in a company
that later became profitable. Was his life dominated
by fears? Is Rose Franzblau or Joyce Brothers available
for the answer? How about Dr. Ruth? If Daniel can
prove that he conquered fear, he gcxrs on to a higher
form of existence in which humans get to use a larger
portion of their brains. If he is found guilty of cow-
ardice, he is sent back to Earth for another try, pre-
sumably with the same inadequate gray matter. One
waits for an explosion of joking, but it never comi*s.
Brooks is in dead earnest about all this. Death is a long
therapy session — the lesson of the movie is "We have
to seize the day." The production is huge, expensive,
and soporific, with crowds of zombies in hospital
robes filing about the sterile corridors. Defending Your
Life doesn't seem like a comic's film, but it's not a
moralist's film either. What, for instance, is wrong
with being sent back to Earth? More life is what most
of us want. With Meryl Strcep. Rip Tom. and Lee

★ JO DOU— (1 hr. 33 min.; 1990) The best Chmesc mov-

very rich colors as an expression of the characters'
emotional states. In a small village in the twc*nties, a
prosperous middle-aged man, a dye manufacturer,
buys a beautiful young wife. Ju Dou (Gong Li), his
third. When she fails to conceive a child (he is almost
certainly iiii(H)tent). he beats her. She saves herself by
having a child with his nephew, l iaiiquig (Li Jlao-
lian). There's a frightened, tremulous sensuality in
this movie— desire struggling against fierce prohibi-
tions—that makes it more powerful than its Western
equivalent. Perhaps because the perversities arc right
on the surface, we don't (tx'I as removed t'rom these
ch.iraclers as we have from the figures m earlier C'hi-
ncsc films. One's only doubts surface near the end. Jo
Don and Tianqing's son— a pudgy, bald little scowler,
silent as a grave— grows up deadly and vengeful. If the
rest of the film is a folktale infused with psychological
realism, the scenes with the boy. who stands silently
on the stairs, a menacing omen, are folktale pure and
simple, .uid not very convincing after what we've
seen earlier. Still, this is an intricately made movie that

puts most ot our careless native products to shame.

mudi diffiicnoe between the two. She wants to be
imtmaie, but you om't be inthnate on film (and may-

★THE NASTY «RL-(1 hr. 35 min.; 1990) bi German,

in your town during the Nazi period? Sonfa digs and
keeps on digging, even after her guilty elders rcfiise to
cooperate and threaten her with retribution. She's too
naive and youthfiiUy egotistical to stop. The German

director Michael Vcrhocveii based Ins film on the sto-
ry of a real woman. Anja Rosmus. of I'assau. but he

NEW JACK CITY-T<1 hr. 37 min; 1991) A violent and lurid
work in which "moral" messages (warnings against

dism both to horrify and to excite us. Early on, the
brutahties of a drug gang taking over Harlem are so
flippantly presented (with rap music adding pulse to
the shocks) that one might wcU think the director wras
urging on the brutality. In other words, the movie
gtKs as far as it can in selling "New Jack" ailture — the
violent urban street life — and even further in punish-
ing anyone who gets caught up in it. Nothing in the
movie makes much sense physically — the cutting is so
rapid that we can't see what's happening in action se-
quences — but there are traces of w ii. .ind some of the

SPARTACUS— <3 hrs 17 min.; 19«)) As spectacle, this re-
stored VXAi epic doesn't compare with Lawreticc of
ArMa — it lacks formal beauty, formal interest. But
it's a violent and witty big-Hollywood bash, with
some mordant scenes — an inside joke that everyone
can take part in. The movie, written by Dalton
Trumbo, who adapted Howard Fast's novel, is osten-
sibly a celefantian of die sbve revolt led by dw gladia-
lor Spaitacus QUA. Doo^) near die end of die
Roman Republic Yet the scenes of the liberated slave

community in the hills, all gixxiness and communal
festivity, are lioring in the extreme, and the stuff with
the wicked, decadent Romans, luxuriating in their
kitschy-beautifiil dty (Hearst's San Simeon was used
as a set), are delidously eniertainii^. The British ac-
tors playing die Romans walk away with the show.
There is the great Laurence Olivier as Crassus, the in-
stinctively authoritarian Roman senator who wants to
crush the democratic elements in the Republic ,is well
as the slave revolt; C'harles 1 .uigluon as his opponent,
Gracchus, a sort of corrupt liberal senator; and Peter
Ustinov as an obsequious trainer of gladiators (Us-
tinov wrote much ofhb own part). Stanley Kubrick,
who took over the produaioii when l)<niglas fired
the original director, Anthony Mann, seems to under-
mine the meanings that Trumbo .iiid Fast put into the
screenplay. With a great scene of rc\ tilt led by Wtiody
Strode, who throws liis gladiator's trident right at the

CmZEN KANE— (2 hrs.; 1941) The greatest American
film. This allegory and cautionary tale of American
success, told in terms of a thinly veiled William Ran-
dolph Hearst, is tlrson Welles 's finest achievement as
a director, and he's not bad as an actor either. Unfor-
tunately, the script, by Herman J. Mankiewicz and
Wdles. though clever, is somewhat shallow. Every-

Please check hours and prices in advance. Rising food
and labor costs often force rcsuurateurs to alter prices
on short notice. Also note that some deluxe restaurants
with i b carte menus levy a cover (bread and butter)
charge. Many restaurants can accommodate parties in
private rooms or in sections of the main dining room —
ask managers for information.

Barry Bellinger, Washington, D.C.

Smithsonian. Though the Bibliothfeque has
made a few experiments in opening its doors

past century has led to severe restrictions on
the right of entry.

Jim Weis, Atlanta, Ga.

New York Times, san francisco — Man

The Connection ... is a response to what we
see as a maturing office automation environ-
ment with EPA. This maturing environment
reflects the fact that every office now has
PCs and you, our EPA PC user community,
has become computer literate and highly fa-
miliar with the use of PCs in your everyday
work.

literate, too.

Chris Doyle, Burke, Va.

Poughkeepsie foumal. " 'Oklahoma' on one
level is about taking Laurey to the social, but
it is also about the opening of the West, the
confrontation between the cowman and the
farmer," Westwood said. "It's a very con-
temporary issue. Today it would be the gen-
trification of cities or the conflict between
the state of Israel and the Palestinians."

• "1-I-l-Intifada, where the wind comes
sweepin' down the plain. ..."

Bob Kopac, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Washington Post. Because of an editing ar-
ror the position of the National Conference
of State Legislators on federal income tax
was incorrectly stated Tuesday. The group
opposes an increase in federal excise taxes
but holds no official position on income tax.

• And they're pretty errogant about it, too.

Larry Laiken. N.Y.C.

Chicago Tribune magazine. Chicago today
ranks among the world's greatest opera-ori-
ented cities. We can certainly be proud that
we have such internationally known institu-
tions as the Art Institute, the Chicago Sym-
pathy Orchestra and the Lyric Opera. I think
that has less to do with Chicago being a ma-
jor metropolis as it does with its "I will"
Spirit.

• Cubs excluded, of course.

The New Yorker. Oh, still, it was delicious to
sit near the well where a few trees had strug-

stringy meat and drinking beer.

Albert Komishane, Elizabeth, N.J.

New York Times, monte carlo — Eight years
ago, after Bjom Borg played what was sup-
posed to be his farewell tennis here . . . [he]
said "I feel good. When I wake up in the
morning now, 1 know 1 don't have to go out
and practice four or five hours." Many ob-
servers ... are wondering whether he has
awoken at all since his retirement.

• Like Rip van Winkle. Only tennis, not
bowling.

Craig Wolfson, Waltham, Mass.
